Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.

In short: the 2026 median for TR4 9 (Truro) is £310,000, from 31 registered sales, down 2% on five years earlier; the mean is £357,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,740 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 2,690 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

A postcode sector like TR4 9 is a single group of streets within TR4 (Truro), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

The going rate for a home in TR4 9

In the TR4 9 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £310,000, from 31 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £357,200, sitting well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.

House prices per square metre in TR4 9

A square metre of TR4 9 home has cost about £3,740 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.

The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts TR4 9 9% above the country at large.

In cash terms the typical TR4 9 home went from £47,800 in 1995 to £310,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 198%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 27% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+41.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.

The turnover behind the prices

Over the last twelve months of data, 31 sales completed in TR4 9. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 65 sales a year recently, against 81 a year before 2008. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.

The shape of the TR4 9 market

Only 31 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TR4 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

What homes rent for around TR4 9

For renting purposes TR4 9 sits in Cornwall. The ONS average private rent there is £1,003 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £691 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,510, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

Set against the £310,000 median sold price, £1,003 a month is £12,036 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Asked and answered: TR4 9 (Blackwater)

Are TR4 9 prices heading up or down?

The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 22% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
