Summary
House prices in PL8: the typical (median) sold price is £465,000, well above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index, July 2026). Over the last twelve months the local median is down 16%, comparing 77 sales with 102, so a handful of homes can swing it. PL8 is a quiet market, with about 8 recorded sales a month. By property type, 53% were detached homes (typically £565,000) and 21% were terraced homes (typically £347,500).
Data from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, up to 28 August 2026.

Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on PL8: few sales, so go in with your eyes open
At around 8 sales a month, PL8 is quiet, with a median below last year’s, so buyers have time on their side, though a few sales can mislead either way.
For sellers, detached homes typically sold for £565,000 against £300,000 for flats, which explains a spread of £245,000 to £1,102,500, so the closest sold homes of your type say much more than the middle; 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 houseWhen buying here, PL8 sits well above the UK average for typical prices, but the local median has slipped, so it is fair to test an asking price, though a dip is not a trend.
Worth checking before you commit: planning history nearby (9 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,615 a year); your conveyancer should look at the title too.
The sold prices leave a lot open; the free PL8 OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English
What the South Hams (PL8) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £565,000 against £300,000 for flats: about 1.9 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £245,000 and £1,102,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (93%) 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 8 recorded sales a month.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled PL8 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 5 to decile 8, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
PL8 2JE, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 7 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 PL8 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in PL8: 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.

Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in PL8, band by band
South Hams's council tax for 2026-27 set against the PL8 median sold price of £465,000 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 PL8 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.
