Summary

House prices in PL28: the typical (median) sold price is £405,000, well above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index, July 2026). Over the last twelve months the local median is up 20.6%, comparing 68 sales with 105, so a handful of homes can swing it. PL28 is a quiet market, with about 7 recorded sales a month. By property type, 44% were detached homes (typically £675,000) and 30% were terraced homes (typically £310,000).

Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on PL28: few sales, so go in with your eyes open

PL28 has seen just 250 sales since October 2023, so the median can look stronger than the market really is.

For sellers, detached homes typically sold for £675,000 against £310,000 for terraced homes, which explains a spread of £135,900 to £1,275,000, so the closest sold homes of your type say much more than the middle; sales are too rare here to hurry, so give the price a local agent’s sense-check; 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 house

When buying here, on price, PL28 is well above the UK average, and rising, so do not let a fast-moving market push you past what the sold homes of your type support.

Before you offer in PL28, check planning history nearby (10 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,591 a year), and ask your conveyancer about the title.

With averages this broad, the free PL28 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning and council tax from the official sources.

In plain English

What the Cornwall (PL28) numbers mean

  • The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £675,000 against £310,000 for terraced homes: 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 £135,900 and £1,275,000, so the median says little about any one home.
  • This is a quiet district: only about 7 recorded sales a month.

Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

Across the 12 sampled PL28 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 3 to decile 5, with a median of decile 5 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

PL28 8NR, 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.

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 PL28 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in PL28: 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.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the PL28 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.

Questions, answered

The PL28 report: your questions

What is the average house price in PL28?
The typical (median) sold price in PL28 is £405,000, from 250 recorded sales between 6 October 2023 and 31 July 2026. Most sales fell between £135,900 and £1,275,000. That is well above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index averages). A median is the middle sale, so a few very expensive homes do not pull it up the way they pull up an average.
Are house prices going up in PL28?
The local median is up 20.6% over the last twelve months, comparing 68 sales with 105 in the twelve months before. A past trend is not a forecast.
How many homes sold in PL28 last year?
68 sales were recorded in the most recent twelve months we can measure, against 105 in the twelve months before. Recent sales can take weeks to reach the register, so the latest months may rise a little.
What does each type of home cost in PL28?
Typical sold prices by type in PL28: detached homes £675,000 (97 sales), terraced homes £310,000 (66 sales), semi-detached homes £326,000 (37 sales), flats £431,250 (22 sales). Use the figure for your type of home rather than the all-homes median.
How much is council tax in PL28?
PL28 is billed by Cornwall, whose Band D charge for 2026-27 is £2,591 a year. Every band from A to H is listed on this page. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and there is no free per-address dataset for it, so we never guess an individual home's band. Look it up on GOV.UK and read your row.
Which schools are near PL28?
The Department for Education's register lists 2 open schools within 3 km of the PL28 district centre, the nearest being Padstow School (last Ofsted grade: Good). These are nearest by straight-line distance from the district centroid. They are not catchment or admission areas, which councils set individually and do not publish centrally.
How up to date are the PL28 sold prices?
Sold prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering sales up to 28 August 2026. The store is rebuilt monthly. New sales can take several weeks to appear in the official register after completion, so the very latest transactions may not show yet.
Is PL28 a deprived area?
On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 PL28 postcodes we sampled (the ones with the most recent recorded sales, not a random sample) run from decile 3 to decile 5, with a median of decile 5 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. Deprivation is published for small areas, not postcode districts, so a district like PL28 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.
Have there been planning applications near PL28?
The last check of the local planning authority register found 10 applications within 500 m of the PL28 district centre; the most recent are listed on this page with their reference, description and status as the authority published them. For an up-to-the-minute search, use the planning tool with your full postcode.
