How Prospect Place, Helston prices moved
The chart tracks the median Prospect Place, Helston house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1998 to 2000. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 2 | £46,000 | £102,142 |
| 2000s | 1 | £65,000 | £118,411 |
The highest yearly median on record for Prospect Place, Helston is £65,000 in 2000; the lowest is £46,000 in 1998. Across the full 3-year record the cash median has moved from £46,000 to £65,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £95,382, so the real change over the whole record is +36.3% — about +16.74% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Section 02
The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Prospect Place, Helston values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Prospect Place, Helston is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 46 | 52.9% | £142,000 | £25,000 – £286,000 |
| Semi-detached | 25 | 28.7% | £79,500 | £40,000 – £585,000 |
| Detached | 13 | 14.9% | £175,000 | £30,000 – £350,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Prospect Place, Helston
1 of the sales on record are leasehold and 86 freehold — 1.1% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £140,000 and the median freehold sale £138,750 — a gap of -0.9%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 1 | 1.1% | £140,000 |
| Freehold | 86 | 98.9% | £138,750 |
| New build | 6 | 6.9% | £59,750 |
| Existing home | 81 | 93.1% | £140,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -57.3%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 4 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Living in Prospect Place, Helston
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Cornwall, 37.4% of 321,040 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 14.2% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 3,287 | 1.0% |
| B | 36,937 | 11.5% |
| C | 79,827 | 24.9% |
| D | 92,894 | 28.9% |
| E | 62,653 | 19.5% |
| F | 32,170 | 10.0% |
| G | 13,272 | 4.1% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Cornwall at £1,005 a month as of Jun 2026 — £692 for a one-bedroom home and £1,082 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £140,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.61% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of TR13, 17 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 11 violent, 1 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 0 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 9.8 times quieter.
Against the 570,305 residents the 2021 census counted in Cornwall, that is 0.03 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

The neighbourhood around Prospect Place, Helston
The 2021 census counted 570,305 residents in Cornwall across 250,533 households. 67.4% of those households own their home and 32.5% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
12 state and independent schools have a TR13 postcode: 11 primary, 1 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

Within Helston the street ranks 337 of 445 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £177,350 (-21.1%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,446 per square metre, across 8 of the 87 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £25,000 to £585,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Prospect Place, Helston sits in Cornwall, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Cornwall at 8.6 times median local earnings of £33,889 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.
