In cash terms the typical PE28 5 home went from £51,800 in 1995 to £305,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 171%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 25% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PE28 5 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 2002 (+31.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−14.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What PE28 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.7% | −8.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
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 register shows 50 PE28 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 173 sales a year before the financial crisis and 117 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What tenants pay around PE28 5
For renting purposes PE28 5 sits in Huntingdonshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,047 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £737 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,684 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Huntingdonshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £305,500 median sold price, £1,047 a month is £12,564 a year, a gross yield of 4.1%: 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.
What kind of market PE28 5 is
This is a thin market: 50 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 price of an extra bedroom in PE
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PE area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £245,000 | £338,000 (+38%) | £482,750 (+43%) | £645,000 (+34%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
