PE20 sold prices: where the market stands

In cash terms the typical PE20 home went from £47,500 in 1995 to £232,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 125%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 17% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PE20 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 2003 (+30.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−7.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 64% of the typed total. In 2022, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £275,000 against £107,500 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.1% | −8.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 185 sales completed in PE20. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 347 sales a year before the financial crisis and 231 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.
The rental side of PE20
For renting purposes PE20 sits in Boston. The ONS average private rent there is £796 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £597 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,271, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Boston
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £232,500 median purchase price, a rent of £796 a month (£9,552 a year) works out at a 4.1% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
How PE20 trades
Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

Bedroom by bedroom: PE prices by size
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 | — | £245,000 | £338,000 (+38%) | £482,750 (+43%) | £645,000 (+34%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
