PE1 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside PE1 (Peterborough). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical PE1 2 home went from £32,000 in 1995 to £167,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 141%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 22% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PE1 2 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+32.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−26.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −13.0% | −15.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.2% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 16 sales completed in PE1 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 210 sales a year before the financial crisis and 52 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What tenants pay around PE1 2
The local authority for PE1 2 is Peterborough, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £981 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £687 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,509, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Peterborough
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£981 a month is £11,772 a year, which against the £167,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 7.0%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
Reading the PE1 2 market
This is a thin market: 16 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within PE1, this sector trades 14% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

PE1's current homes for sale
Turning to what is actually available: 269 homes on the market right now, from 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole PE1 district, not just PE1 2: live asking prices are collected per district.
26% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

- Alexandra Road, Millfield, Peterborough, PE1, Peterborough
- Park Road, Peterborough, Cambridgeshi...
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in PE
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the PE area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £245,000 | £338,000 (+38%) | £482,750 (+43%) | £645,000 (+34%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
