Dogsthorpe market report PE1, Peterborough
The PE1 (Dogsthorpe) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 20,844 registered sales in PE1 (Peterborough) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 125 registered 2026 sales put the PE1 (Peterborough) median at £195,000, up 5% on five years earlier, with a mean of £210,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,400 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 20,844 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
PE1 is the postcode district covering Peterborough, Dogsthorpe, Eastfield in Peterborough. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

House prices per square metre in PE1

In cash terms the typical PE1 home went from £39,500 in 1995 to £195,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 127%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 17% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PE1 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 (+28.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.8%). 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) | −5.8% | −8.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.5% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £270,000 against £127,500 for a flat, 2.1 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
PE1 recorded 264 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,064 sales a year before the financial crisis and 342 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around PE1
For renting purposes PE1 sits in Peterborough. The ONS average private rent there is £981 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £687 a month here against £1,509 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £195,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.0%. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom 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.

| Detached | — | £245,000 | £338,000 (+38%) | £482,750 (+43%) | £645,000 (+34%) |
