The PE7 median stands at £250,000 for 2026, built from 308 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £271,900, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.
PE7 prices by floor area

In cash terms the typical PE7 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 156%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 20% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PE7 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 (+33.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−9.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 43% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £340,000 against £135,000 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.7% | −11.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −3.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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.
How many homes change hands in PE7
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 699 PE7 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,256 sales a year before the financial crisis and 949 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 homes rent for around PE7
For renting purposes PE7 sits in Fenland. The ONS average private rent there is £835 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £621 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,378 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Fenland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £250,000 median purchase price, a rent of £835 a month (£10,020 a year) works out at a 4.0% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

The price of an extra bedroom in PE
Real sold prices by size across the PE area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |

| Flat | £120,000 | £155,500 (+30%) | £230,000 (+48%) | — | — |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is 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.
