In cash terms the typical PE4 7 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 157%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 11% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PE4 7 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 2003 (+23.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−7.7%). 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) | +5.2% | +2.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.7% | −1.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.0% | +1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
PE4 7 recorded 50 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 267 sales a year before the financial crisis and 145 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around PE4 7
The local authority for PE4 7 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.
£981 a month is £11,772 a year, which against the £240,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
How PE4 7 trades
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.

Bedroom by bedroom: PE prices by size
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%) |

| Flat | £120,000 | £155,500 (+30%) | £230,000 (+48%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
