House prices in Cornwall rose by just over nine per cent in a year, Land Registry
figures show.
In April 2007, the average price of a house in the county stood at £207,754,
compared to £189,717 the previous April.
April’s figures also represent a rise of 0.9 per cent on March’s house prices.
The average cost of a detached house in Cornwall in April was £297,229, semis
costs £181,013 and the average price of a terraced house stood at £154,456.
The figures put Cornwall well above the national average cost of a house, which
stood at £179,935 in April.
The busiest month for moving house in Cornwall between April 2006 and this
February was in June last year, when 1,232 properties were sold. The quietest
month was in February with 742 homes sold.
