In cash terms the typical PE6 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £280,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 126%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 13% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PE6 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 (+26.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.8%). 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) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 55% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £350,000 against £147,500 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

How many homes change hands in PE6
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.
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, 431 sales completed in PE6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 872 sales a year before the financial crisis and 526 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.
Rents around PE6
For renting purposes PE6 sits in Peterborough. The ONS average private rent there is £981 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £687 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,509 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £280,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: PE prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PE area, from the Land Registry record. 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
