Summary
House prices in PL18: the typical (median) sold price is £274,750, close to the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index, July 2026). Over the last twelve months the local median is down 10.7%, comparing 82 sales with 102, so a handful of homes can swing it. PL18 is a quiet market, with about 7 recorded sales a month. By property type, 45% were detached homes (typically £360,000) and 27% were terraced homes (typically £218,750).

Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on PL18: a quiet market, so take your time
PL18 is a thin market, at roughly 7 sales a month, with a median below last year’s, so buyers have time on their side, though a few sales can mislead either way.
If you are thinking of selling, a spread from £146,850 to £500,500 makes £274,750 a poor guide to any one home, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; with so little to compare, give yourself extra time; a quick cash sale buys certainty at a cost, usually about 70–85% of market value as a rough guide, not a quote, so weigh it carefully.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, typical prices in PL18 sit close to the UK average, with prices easing, so it is fair to ask why an asking price sits above recent sales.
On any PL18 home we would check what has been applied for nearby (467 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,591 a year), and ask a conveyancer to read the title.
Where the numbers are this loose, the free PL18 OfferCheck gives you something firmer to hold: flood, crime, planning and council tax, each with its source.

In plain English
What the Cornwall (PL18) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £360,000 against £140,500 for flats: about 2.6 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £146,850 and £500,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (95%) 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 7 recorded sales a month.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled PL18 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 3 to decile 6, with a median of decile 5 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
PL18 9HW, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 5 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
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 PL18 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in PL18: 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. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

What it costs to run a home in PL18, band by band
Cornwall's council tax for 2026-27 set against the PL18 median sold price of £274,750 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the PL18 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.
