In cash terms the typical PE29 3 home went from £38,200 in 1995 to £175,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 111%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 36% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PE29 3 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 2001 (+42.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−21.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What PE29 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.9% | +0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −4.0% | −8.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.6% | −3.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.3% |
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.
Sales activity in PE29 3
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 24 sales completed in PE29 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 103 sales a year before the financial crisis and 57 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 3 trades
Only 24 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PE29 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the PE29 district median, PE29 3 sits 39% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of PE29 3
PE29 3 falls under Huntingdonshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,047 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £737 a month here against £1,684 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Huntingdonshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £175,000 median sold price, £1,047 a month is £12,564 a year, a gross yield of 7.2%: 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in PE: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PE area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |

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.
