In cash terms the typical PE3 6 home went from £52,500 in 1995 to £317,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 178%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PE3 6 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 2017 (+38.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−20.0%). 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) | −0.8% | −3.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
Sales activity in PE3 6
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 18 sales completed in PE3 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 133 sales a year before the financial crisis and 83 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 PE3 6 trades
Only 18 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PE3 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Within PE3, this sector trades 49% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What homes rent for around PE3 6
The local authority for PE3 6 is Peterborough, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £981 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £687 a month here against £1,509 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Peterborough
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £317,500 median purchase price, a rent of £981 a month (£11,772 a year) works out at a 3.7% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: PE prices by size
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.
