In cash terms the typical PE12 6 home went from £46,000 in 1995 to £272,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 173%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 23% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

Year-on-year change in the PE12 6 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 (+26.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−11.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

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.

Over the last twelve months of data, 51 sales completed in PE12 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 238 sales a year before the financial crisis and 162 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.

What kind of market PE12 6 is

This is a thin market: 51 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. Against the PE12 district median, PE12 6 sits 11% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Rents around PE12 6

The local authority for PE12 6 is South Holland, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £762 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £583 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,174 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

Set against the £272,500 median sold price, £762 a month is £9,144 a year, a gross yield of 3.4%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

19% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

Bedroom by bedroom: PE prices by size

What homes of each size actually sold for across the PE area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
