In cash terms the typical PE7 8 home went from £245,000 in 1996 to £245,000 in 2026, a 0% rise. Strip out inflation and it is actually a fall of about 53%: a typical home here costs less in real terms than it did in 1996. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 1996; the current median sits about 53% below that. Someone who bought at the 1996 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PE7 8 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 (+21.2% on the year before); the weakest, 1997 (−61.0%). 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) | −17.3% | −19.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.0% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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.
Sales activity in PE7 8
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 register shows 100 PE7 8 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 358 sales a year recently, against 396 a year before 2008. 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.
What homes rent for around PE7 8
PE7 8 falls under Peterborough, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £981 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £687 a month here against £1,509 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £245,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.8%. 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. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £245,000 | £338,000 (+38%) | £482,750 (+43%) | £645,000 (+34%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
