Ramsey market report PE26, Huntingdon
The standing PE26 (Ramsey) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 7,483 sales registered with HM Land Registry in PE26 (Huntingdon) 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 July 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: 63 registered 2026 sales put the PE26 (Huntingdon) median at £300,000, up 10% on five years earlier, with a mean of £298,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,890 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 7,483 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
The postcode district PE26 covering Ramsey, Bury, Ramsey Mereside sits in Huntingdon. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

PE26 sold prices: where the market stands
Across 63 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) PE26 home went for £300,000. The mean is £298,000, nearly identical to it, meaning sales cluster closely around the typical figure.
PE26 prices by floor area
The last five years of sales put PE26 at roughly £2,890 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving PE26 5% above the national figure.

In cash terms the typical PE26 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 151%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 13% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PE26 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 (+33.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−14.5%). 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) | +13.2% | +10.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.7% | +1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.5% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 44% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £361,200 against £115,400 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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 last five years, month by month
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, 146 sales completed in PE26. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 300 sales a year before the financial crisis and 186 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market PE26 is
This is a thin market: 146 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. PE26 sits 9 of 35 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
The rental side of PE26
PE26 falls under Huntingdonshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,047 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £737 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,684, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Huntingdonshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,047 a month is £12,564 a year, which against the £300,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. 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.

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 10% over five years in cash but down 13% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
PE26's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in PE26 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 62 homes on the market right now, from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 3% below the PE26 median sold price.
54% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

The price of an extra bedroom in PE
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the PE area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £245,000 | £338,000 (+38%) | £482,750 (+43%) | £645,000 (+34%) |
| Semi-detached | £187,000 | £220,000 (+18%) | £257,500 (+17%) | £340,000 (+32%) | £455,000 (+34%) |
| Terraced | £170,000 | £195,000 (+15%) | £225,000 (+15%) | £300,000 (+33%) | £465,000 (+55%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

Two maps carry on from here: every PE26 sale at its exact address, and the average prices map from area shading down to single homes. The report tool answers a specific question in writing, and each sale's mortgage and rent calculator prices a real purchase.
About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
