Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on PL16: a quiet market, so take your time
PL16 has seen just 250 sales since July 2020, so the median can look stronger than the market really is.
If you are selling, with detached homes at £385,000 and flats at £87,115, the £154,500 to £750,000 spread is really several markets, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; with so little to compare, give yourself extra time; if certainty matters more than price, a quick cash sale usually means accepting about 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote).
Sell houseIf you are buying, on price, PL16 is above the UK average, and still climbing, so test the asking price against recent sold homes of the same type before you stretch to meet it.
Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (49 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,601 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
The sold prices leave a lot open; the free PL16 OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English
What the Torridge (PL16) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £385,000 against £87,115 for flats: about 4.4 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £154,500 and £750,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (96%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.
- This is a quiet district: only about 3 recorded sales a month.

Across the 12 sampled PL16 postcodes, deprivation runs all in decile 4, with a median of decile 4 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
PL16 0DB, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 4 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so PL16 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in PL16: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row.

Cost to run

What it costs to run a home in PL16, band by band
Torridge's council tax for 2026-27 set against the PL16 median sold price of £313,275 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearTorridge | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £313,275 |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| H | over £320,000 | £5,203 | £434 | 1.66% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the PL16 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
