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 20,872 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 August 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: 149 registered 2026 sales put the PE1 (Peterborough) median at £200,000, up 8% on five years earlier, with a mean of £209,300, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,410 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 20,872 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.

What buyers actually paid in PE1
The PE1 median stands at £200,000 for 2026, built from 149 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £209,300, almost on top of it, so sales bunch tightly around the typical price.
House prices per square metre in PE1
Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in PE1 costs about £2,410 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.

In cash terms the typical PE1 home went from £39,500 in 1995 to £200,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 133%, 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 15% 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 year (since 2025) | −2.7% | −4.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +3.5% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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 £125,000 for a flat, 2.2 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 268 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 347 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 £200,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.9%. 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 market
In its area's price order PE1 comes 32 of 35, towards the cheaper end of the table.
PE1 (Dogsthorpe): the questions that come up
Are property prices falling in PE1 (Dogsthorpe)?
Is PE1 (Dogsthorpe) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in PE1 (Dogsthorpe)?
Are PE1 prices heading up or down?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 8% over five years in cash but down 15% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
What you could buy in PE1 now

At the pace of the last twelve months' registered sales (268 in PE1), the 109 homes listed here amount to about 5 months of supply. Not every agent publishes to HomesIndex, so the true figure is higher.
18% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

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.
Listed against sold: the PE1 mix
Sellers of flats in PE1 have company: 25% of current listings against 13% of recent sales. When a type is offered faster than it sells, the buyer usually holds the better hand.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 12% | 17% |
| Semi-detached | 35% | 41% |
| Terraced | 29% | 29% |
| Flats | 25% | 13% |
Listings are the homes agents publish to HomesIndex today; sales are HM Land Registry registrations. A listing whose type does not say detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat (a plain "house", a bungalow, a park home) is left out of the listing shares.
The PE1 sales calendar
March is when PE1 changes hands most (10.6% of the 2,046 sales dated 2021 to 2025); January is the quiet end at 6.2%. That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 126 | 6.2% |
| February | 194 | 9.5% |
| March | 217 | 10.6% |
| April | 142 | 6.9% |

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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £212,000 | £240,000 (+13%) | £291,000 (+21%) | £379,995 (+31%) | £485,000 (+28%) |
| Semi-detached | £178,000 | £202,000 (+13%) | £237,000 (+17%) | £285,000 (+20%) | £350,000 (+23%) |
| Terraced | £147,000 | £184,000 (+25%) | £210,000 (+14%) | £260,000 (+24%) | £330,000 (+27%) |
| Flat | £113,000 | £142,000 (+26%) | £190,000 (+34%) | £270,000 (+42%) | £265,000 (-2%) |
Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
