Barbican property market: common questions
Where is Barbican?
Barbican is about 2 miles south of central Plymouth, in Devon. Figures for Barbican cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
What is the average house price in Barbican?
The median asking price across the 157 homes for sale in Barbican is £200,000 (as of 4 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £138,000 and £330,000. That is 13% below Plymouth. Homes that actually sold in Barbican went for a median £174,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in Barbican rising or falling?
Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Barbican is up 20% over the last 10 years and up 9% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Barbican cheaper than Plymouth?
Yes: asking prices in Barbican are typically lower than across Plymouth. The median asking price in Barbican is £200,000 against £230k across Plymouth: 13% below Plymouth. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The top end of the market prices close to Plymouth's.
How many homes are for sale in Barbican?
157 homes are on the market in Barbican right now, up 4% since 31 Aug, 39 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.
Are house prices being cut in Barbican?
20 listings in Barbican had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 13% of the homes currently for sale.
How long are homes on the market in Barbican?
Of the Barbican listings that came off the market in the last 30 days and that we first saw after we began tracking the area, the typical one had been advertised for 60 days. Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.
How much do flats and houses cost in Barbican?
The median asking price for a flat in Barbican is £160,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £325,000 across 38 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Barbican?
The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Barbican is £205,000, across 58 current listings.
What is the price per square foot in Barbican?
In Barbican, homes that sold went for a median £235 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £250 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (157 in Barbican), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Barbican cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Barbican since August 2025.
- Plymouth comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Plymouth, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
