Gunthorpe market report PE4, Peterborough
The PE4 (Gunthorpe) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. This page is built from the public record and nothing else: 15,948 completed sales registered with HM Land Registry in PE4 (Peterborough) since 1995, plus current ONS rental figures. There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
Sales recorded to August 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: the 2026 median for PE4 (Peterborough) is £245,000, from 170 registered sales, up 17% on five years earlier; the mean is £260,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,870 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 15,948 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
The postcode district PE4 covering Gunthorpe, Paston, Walton sits in Peterborough. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

What a home in PE4 sells for
Across 170 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) PE4 home went for £245,000. The mean is £260,400, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
Price per square metre in PE4
The last five years of sales put PE4 at roughly £2,870 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so PE4 trades 14% below the country as a whole.

| 1996 | £44,000 | £92,794 | 562 |
| 1995 | £44,800 | £97,388 | 497 |
In cash terms the typical PE4 home went from £44,800 in 1995 to £245,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 152%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 9% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PE4 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 2002 (+24.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−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 year (since 2025) | +4.5% | +2.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.1% | −1.6% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +3.4% | −1.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £307,000 against £113,500 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 308 sales completed in PE4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 702 sales a year before the financial crisis and 341 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.
Rents around PE4
PE4 falls under Peterborough, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Set against the £245,000 median sold price, £981 a month is £11,772 a year, a gross yield of 4.8%: 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.

What is for sale against what sells in PE4
What is for sale in PE4 looks much like what sells: no type differs by more than 4 points between the two columns.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 30% | 27% |
| Semi-detached | 42% | 42% |
| Terraced | 28% | 27% |
| Flats | 0% | 4% |
Listings are the homes agents publish to HomesIndex today; sales are HM Land Registry registrations. A listing whose type does not say detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat (a plain "house", a bungalow, a park home) is left out of the listing shares (11 here).
Month by month: when PE4 sells
Take the 2,024 PE4 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: March completions lead with 10.4% of the total, January trails with 6.5%. The spread between the busiest and quietest months is small, so timing matters less here than in most markets; price and presentation decide more than the calendar.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 131 | 6.5% |
| February | 141 | 7.0% |

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 | £212,000 | £240,000 (+13%) | £291,000 (+21%) | £379,995 (+31%) | £485,000 (+28%) |
| Semi-detached | £178,000 | £202,000 (+13%) | £237,000 (+17%) | £285,000 (+20%) | £350,000 (+23%) |
| Terraced | £147,000 | £184,000 (+25%) | £210,000 (+14%) | £260,000 (+24%) | £330,000 (+27%) |
| Flat | £113,000 | £142,000 (+26%) | £190,000 (+34%) | £270,000 (+42%) | £265,000 (-2%) |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
