How Polmor Road, Penzance prices moved

The chart tracks the median Polmor Road, Penzance house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1999 to 2020. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.

Median of the yearly medians in each decade.

The highest yearly median on record for Polmor Road, Penzance is £177,000 in 2020; the lowest is £53,000 in 1999. Across the full 22-year record the cash median has moved from £53,000 to £177,000.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £107,991, so the real change over the whole record is +112.2% — about +3.65% 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.

Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +234.0% in cash against +112.2% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

What sells here

Section 06

Ownership and new build in Polmor Road, Penzance

4 of the sales on record are leasehold and 61 freehold — 6.2% 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 £71,750 and the median freehold sale £146,500 — a gap of +104.2%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.

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.

Section 09

How Polmor Road, Penzance compares

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Polmor Road, Penzance sits below that national figure — -20.6%.

Within Penzance the street ranks 607 of 749 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £163,000 (-23.3%).

No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.

The full range on record runs from £27,000 to £278,000. 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.
