Baston market report PE6 8, Peterborough

The standing PE6 8 (Baston) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 8,828 sales registered with HM Land Registry in PE6 8 (Peterborough) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

In short: the 2026 median for PE6 8 (Peterborough) is £271,200, from 76 registered sales, up 6% on five years earlier; the mean is £281,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,020 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 8,828 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

PE6 8 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside PE6 (Peterborough). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

PE6 8 sold prices: where the market stands

The 2026 median for PE6 8 is £271,200, taken from 76 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £281,200, nearly identical to it, meaning sales cluster closely around the typical figure.

House prices per square metre in PE6 8

Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in PE6 8 costs about £3,020 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving PE6 8 5% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical PE6 8 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £271,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 127%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 17% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+23.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

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.

Transaction volumes

Over the last twelve months of data, 76 sales completed in PE6 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 335 sales a year before the financial crisis and 200 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 homes rent for around PE6 8

For renting purposes PE6 8 sits in South Kesteven. The ONS average private rent there is £838 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £580 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,312, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

Set against the £271,200 median sold price, £838 a month is £10,056 a year, a gross yield of 3.7%: 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
