PE13 local market report Wisbech

Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 21,521 sales registered with HM Land Registry in PE13 (Wisbech) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Sales data to May 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.

PE13 is the postcode district covering Wisbech (most of), Guyhirn, Murrow in Wisbech. 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 a home in PE13 sells for

The 2026 median in PE13 is £197,500, from 109 registered sales; the mean, £223,200, sits modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £274,000, so PE13 trades 28% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical PE13 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £197,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 145%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not just more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 20% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+33.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−7.4%). 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)	−3.7%	−3.7%
5 years (since 2021)	−0.3%	−4.4%
10 years (since 2016)	+3.1%	0.0%
20 years (since 2006)	+2.2%	−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.

Transaction volumes

PE13 recorded 430 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 931 sales a year before the financial crisis and 506 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 homes rent for around PE13

PE13 falls under Fenland, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £835 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £621 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,378, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

Set against the £197,500 median sold price, £835 a month is £10,020 a year, a gross yield of 5.1%: 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.

Will PE13 prices rise from here?

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

Ladders and snakes: five-year risers and fallers

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
