How Springfield Close, St Austell prices moved
The chart tracks the median Springfield Close, St Austell house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2024. 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 | 3 | £46,500 | £103,252 |
| 2000s | 4 | £136,000 | £247,752 |
| 2010s | 2 | £147,375 | £207,799 |
| 2020s | 1 | £295,000 | £301,413 |
The highest yearly median on record for Springfield Close, St Austell is £295,000 in 2024; the lowest is £43,000 in 1996. Across the full 29-year record the cash median has moved from £43,000 to £295,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £93,277, so the real change over the whole record is +232.8% — about +4.39% 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: +100.2% in cash against +31.9% 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.

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 Springfield Close, St Austell 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. Springfield Close, St Austell 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 | 44 | 37.6% | £205,000 | £45,000 – £555,555 |
| Terraced | 37 | 31.6% | £136,000 | £21,600 – £239,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Springfield Close, St Austell
1 of the sales on record are leasehold and 116 freehold — 0.9% 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 £54,000 and the median freehold sale £142,625 — a gap of +164.1%. 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 | 0.9% | £54,000 |
| Freehold | 116 | 99.1% | £142,625 |
| New build | 5 | 4.3% | £138,000 |
| Existing home | 112 | 95.7% | £142,625 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -3.2%. 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.

Living in Springfield Close, St Austell
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% |

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 £142,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.46% 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 PL26, 7 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 4 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 23.9 times quieter.
Against the 570,305 residents the 2021 census counted in Cornwall, that is 0.01 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 Springfield Close, St Austell
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.
13 state and independent schools have a PL26 postcode: 12 primary, 1 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

Springfield Close, St Austell 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.
