How Bury Close, Launceston prices moved
The chart tracks the median Bury Close, Launceston house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2003 to 2007. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 5 | £222,500 | £405,329 |
The highest yearly median on record for Bury Close, Launceston is £237,000 in 2007; the lowest is £90,250 in 2004. Across the full 5-year record the cash median has moved from £172,475 to £237,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £325,992, so the real change over the whole record is +26.4% — about +6.03% 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 Bury Close, Launceston 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. Bury Close, Launceston 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 40 | 54.8% | £220,000 | £45,000 – £425,000 |
| Terraced | 21 | 28.8% | £105,000 | £75,000 – £273,000 |
| Semi-detached | 12 | 16.4% | £169,000 | £81,375 – £241,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Bury Close, Launceston
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 73 freehold — 0.0% 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.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 73 | 100.0% | £192,657 |
| New build | 12 | 16.4% | £83,438 |
| Existing home | 61 | 83.6% | £205,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -59.3%. 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 1 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 Bury Close, Launceston
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% |

| 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 £192,657 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.26% 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 PL15, 2 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 1 violent, 0 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 83.5 times quieter.
Against the 570,305 residents the 2021 census counted in Cornwall, that is 0.00 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.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Bury Close, Launceston
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.
17 state and independent schools have a PL15 postcode: 16 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 Launceston the street ranks 78 of 276 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £160,000 (+20.4%).

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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Bury Close, Launceston?

How many homes have sold in Bury Close, Launceston?

When were Bury Close, Launceston house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £237,000, set in 2007. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
