PL4 — Property Investment Data

Short-term rental data · Last updated: Sep 2026 · 198 listings sampled

PL4 covers Saltash and surrounding areas in south-east Cornwall, positioned just across the Tamar Bridge from Devon. The sector offers access to both Cornish tourism markets and the broader south-west region, with reasonable transport links to Plymouth. This geographic positioning creates opportunities for both leisure and business travellers seeking accommodation in the area.

The short-let market in PL4 shows moderate activity with 213 Airbnb listings sampled. Average nightly rates stand at £122, generating an estimated monthly revenue of £2206 based on 60% occupancy. These figures suggest a functioning seasonal market typical of South West England, though occupancy rates indicate considerable vacant periods throughout the year. Investors should expect significant revenue fluctuations between peak summer months and quieter winter periods.

The sector presents both opportunity and constraint. Saltash's proximity to Plymouth makes it attractive for cost-conscious guests and business visitors unwilling to pay Plymouth's higher rates, providing a potential market niche. However, the 60% occupancy baseline requires careful consideration of management costs and void periods. Property condition, local competition, and ability to differentiate offerings will substantially influence returns for individual operators in this moderately competitive market.
