In cash terms the typical PE3 9 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £259,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 117%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PE3 9 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 (+43.2% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−14.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +7.9% | +5.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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
Sales per year, counted
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, 34 sales completed in PE3 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 195 sales a year before the financial crisis and 86 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Reading the PE3 9 market
Only 34 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PE3 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 PE3 district median, PE3 9 sits 21% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of PE3 9
The local authority for PE3 9 is Peterborough, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £981 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £687 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,509, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Peterborough
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £259,000 median purchase price, a rent of £981 a month (£11,772 a year) works out at a 4.5% 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.

Is PE3 9 (Bretton) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in PE3 9 (Bretton)?

Will PE3 9 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% after inflation.

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. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |

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.
