In cash terms the typical TR26 home went from £52,500 in 1995 to £320,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 180%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 34% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TR26 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+30.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−14.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 32% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £444,000 against £292,500 for a flat, a 52% premium.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −14.7% | −16.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.6% | −8.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.1% | −2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.3% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in TR26
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
TR26 recorded 163 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 367 sales a year before the financial crisis and 190 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around TR26
The local authority for TR26 is Cornwall, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,003 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £691 a month here against £1,510 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cornwall
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,003 a month is £12,036 a year, which against the £320,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Moving up a bedroom in TR: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the TR area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £320,000 | £447,500 (+40%) | £650,000 (+45%) | £910,000 (+40%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
