In cash terms the typical PE7 1 home went from £46,000 in 1995 to £230,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 130%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 19% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PE7 1 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 (+28.2% 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.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.2% | −6.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 80 sales completed in PE7 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 327 sales a year before the financial crisis and 215 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.
What kind of market PE7 1 is
Against the PE7 district median, PE7 1 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
Rents around PE7 1
For renting purposes PE7 1 sits in Fenland. The ONS average private rent there is £835 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £621 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,378, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Fenland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£835 a month is £10,020 a year, which against the £230,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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 "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

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.
The price of an extra bedroom in PE
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 | — | £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%) |
| Terraced | £170,000 | £195,000 (+15%) | £225,000 (+15%) | £300,000 (+33%) | £465,000 (+55%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
