Summary
House prices in PL23: the typical (median) sold price is £417,500, well above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index, July 2026). Over the last twelve months the local median is up 11.1%, comparing 74 sales with 87, so a handful of homes can swing it. PL23 is a quiet market, with about 6 recorded sales a month. By property type, 45% were detached homes (typically £560,000) and 29% were terraced homes (typically £286,250).

Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on PL23: a quiet market, so take your time
Only about 6 sales a month sell in PL23, and prices are up on last year, but on few sales, so treat the rise as a hint rather than a trend.
If you are selling, with detached homes at £560,000 and flats at £258,750, the £187,250 to £968,500 spread is really several markets, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; with so few sales, allow extra time and a local agent’s view; 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, PL23 is well 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.
Before an offer goes in on any PL23 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (1,334 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,591 a year), and leave the title to your conveyancer.
Where the numbers are this loose, the free PL23 OfferCheck gives you something firmer to hold: flood, crime, planning and council tax, each with its source.

In plain English
What the Cornwall (PL23) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £560,000 against £258,750 for flats: about 2.2 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £187,250 and £968,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is a quiet district: only about 6 recorded sales a month.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

Median across 12 sampled postcodes; 1 is the most deprived 10% of England, 10 the least.
Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled PL23 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 3 to decile 6, with a median of decile 6 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
PL23 1ER, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 6 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 PL23 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in PL23: 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.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in PL23, band by band
Cornwall's council tax for 2026-27 set against the PL23 median sold price of £417,500 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearCornwall | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £417,500 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,727 | £144 | 0.41% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £2,015 | £168 | 0.48% |

| H | over £320,000 | £5,182 | £432 | 1.24% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the PL23 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.
