PE8 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside PE8 (Peterborough). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical PE8 4 home went from £66,000 in 1995 to £305,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 113%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PE8 4 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 2000 (+29.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.7%). 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) | −16.2% | −18.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.9% | −6.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.0% | −2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −1.0% |
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.
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.
PE8 4 recorded 27 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 126 sales a year before the financial crisis and 78 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 PE8 4
For renting purposes PE8 4 sits in North Northamptonshire. The ONS average private rent there is £984 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £677 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,518 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, North Northamptonshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £305,000 median purchase price, a rent of £984 a month (£11,808 a year) works out at a 3.9% 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.
How PE8 4 trades
This is a thin market: 27 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Against the PE8 district median, PE8 4 sits 9% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

The price of an extra bedroom in PE
Real sold prices by size across the PE area, straight 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.
