PE28 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside PE28 (Huntingdon). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What a home in PE28 2 sells for

Across 51 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) PE28 2 home went for £297,000. The mean is £324,400, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.

Price per square metre in PE28 2

The last five years of sales put PE28 2 at roughly £3,260 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 PE28 2 4% above the national figure.

In cash terms the typical PE28 2 home went from £70,000 in 1995 to £297,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 95%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 29% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+39.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2001 (−31.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

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.

The turnover behind the prices

Over the last twelve months of data, 51 sales completed in PE28 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 243 sales a year before the financial crisis and 120 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.

How PE28 2 trades

This is a thin market: 51 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. 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. Against the PE28 district median, PE28 2 sits 10% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What tenants pay around PE28 2

PE28 2 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.

£1,047 a month is £12,564 a year, which against the £297,000 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.

Common questions on PE28 2 (Abbots Ripton)

Where do PE28 2 prices go next?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 10% over five years in cash but down 29% after inflation.

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.
