A More Balanced and Selective Property Market
The Cornwall property market in 2026 is continuing to settle into a more balanced phase.
After the exceptional activity and rapid price growth experienced during the pandemic and its aftermath, today's market is considerably more measured. Buyers have more choice, sellers need to be realistic about asking prices, and properties are generally taking longer to sell than they did during the most competitive periods of recent years.

There is something particularly appealing about owning a property by the coast. Sea views, fresh air, easy access to beaches and the unique character of coastal communities make seaside properties highly desirable.
However, buying a property in a coastal location also comes with some additional considerations — particularly when it comes to building maintenance and condition.

Buying a property is one of the biggest financial decisions you are likely to make. Yet when it comes to choosing a survey, it can be tempting to simply find the cheapest option and tick the box.
Not all surveys — or surveyors — are the same.
Buying a Property? Get the Right Survey
Choosing a surveyor isn't something to do simply because your mortgage lender, estate agent or conveyancer tells you that you need a survey.
Take a little time to find out who your surveyor is, what they are qualified to do and what you will actually receive.
At Lilly Surveyors Ltd, we provide independent Level 2 and Level 3 Home Surveys, as well as Pre-Sell Surveys, Defect Inspections and Snagging Inspections across Cornwall.
We combine professional surveying experience with modern digital technology, while keeping the personal service that matters.
And after your inspection, we'll talk to you about what we've found.
Because buying a property is too important to leave to guesswork.
Contact Lilly Surveyors Ltd for a quote or to discuss which survey is right for your property.
