Property for sale

Polperro is one of the south-west's property hot-spots. An idyllic location, picturesque village and harbour, unspoilt countryside, away from the hassle and stress of big cities. Small wonder then that property in Polperro is highly sought after, often by folk who have holidayed in the village and decide that it's the place for them.

Because it is so sought after prices are somewhat higher in Polperro than in other less desirable locations in the south-west - but that's the law of supply and demand. If you buy in Polperro you know that you've bought into a lively, friendly community in an exceptional environment that has been highly regarded by artists and others for more than a century.

Polperro has been subject to the pressures that affect all highly desirable locations - outsiders move in, some properties become weekend or holiday homes or holiday letting properties, property prices increase and locals, especially young people, find it difficult to afford to buy. Some would say that some special measures should be taken to ensure that affordable properties are available for local people. In Polperro, many of the "in-comers" have entered into the community life of the village and there is still an indigenous Polperro community. The only thing that seems certain about the future is that as life in the cities gets ever more inhuman, the human scale and beauty of places like Polperro will become even more highly valued.
