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 year (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.2% | −2.1% |
| 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, 54% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £336,200 against £135,200 for a flat, 2.5 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, 421 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 538 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.
The shape of the PE6 market
This is detached-house territory: 48% of last year's sales were detached, which props the overall median well above the flat and terrace market underneath it.

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 10% over five years in cash but down 13% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
What you could buy in PE6 now

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What is for sale against what sells in PE6
Detached homes are 64% of what is listed in PE6 but 55% of what sold over 2024 and 2025: the market is being offered more of them than it has been taking, which tends to give a buyer of one room to talk.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 64% | 55% |
| Semi-detached | 23% | 30% |
| Terraced | 14% | 14% |
| Flats | 0% | 1% |
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).
The PE6 sales calendar
March is when PE6 changes hands most (10.8% of the 3,438 sales dated 2021 to 2025); January is the quiet end at 6.2%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 213 | 6.2% |
| February | 293 | 8.5% |
| March | 371 | 10.8% |
| April | 229 | 6.7% |

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 | £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%) |
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.
