In cash terms the typical PE29 1 home went from £65,300 in 1995 to £287,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 103%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2024; the current median sits about 11% below that. Someone who bought at the 2024 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PE29 1 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 2004 (+23.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2007 (−7.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.5% | −1.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +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.
How many homes change hands in PE29 1
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 52 sales completed in PE29 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 271 sales a year before the financial crisis and 121 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.
How PE29 1 trades
This is a thin market: 52 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.
Rents around PE29 1
The local authority for PE29 1 is Huntingdonshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Against the £287,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,047 a month (£12,564 a year) works out at a 4.4% 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.

Of everything listed here, 31% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

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.

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
