Alwalton market report PE2 6, Peterborough

The raw material for this page is 2,612 HM Land Registry entries for PE2 6 (Peterborough), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.

Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

In short: the middle 2026 sale in PE2 6 (Peterborough) came in at £275,200, out of 24 registered, up 6% on five years earlier, and the mean stands at £306,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,230 per square metre over the last five years. The record behind it is 2,612 completed sales lodged with HM Land Registry since 1995, monthly refreshed, with no valuations or asking prices anywhere in the figures.

A postcode sector like PE2 6 is a single group of streets within PE2 (Peterborough), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

What PE2 6 homes really sell for

The 2026 median for PE2 6 is £275,200, taken from 24 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £306,400, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.

What a square metre costs in PE2 6

A square metre of PE2 6 home has cost about £3,230 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so PE2 6 trades 3% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical PE2 6 home went from £59,000 in 1995 to £275,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 115%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 1999 (+29.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−17.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

What PE2 6 has returned, per year

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.

The turnover behind the prices

Over the last twelve months of data, 24 sales completed in PE2 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 101 sales a year before the financial crisis and 48 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 PE2 6 is

This is a thin market: 24 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. Within PE2, this sector trades 20% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

The rental side of PE2 6

For renting purposes PE2 6 sits in Peterborough. The ONS average private rent there is £981 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £687 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,509, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

£981 a month is £11,772 a year, which against the £275,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. 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.
