In cash terms the typical PE12 7 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £230,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 140%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 8% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PE12 7 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 2000 (+27.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What PE12 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.0% | +1.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.1% | −1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 63 PE12 7 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 233 sales a year before the financial crisis and 159 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 PE12 7
The local authority for PE12 7 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.
Average monthly rent by size, South Holland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £230,000 median sold price, £762 a month is £9,144 a year, a gross yield of 4.0%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in PE: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the PE area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
