Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on PE28: steady sales, so price from the evidence
PE28 sees about 48 sales a month, a pace that gives buyers and sellers something to compare, without a year-on-year figure we would stand behind.
If you are thinking of selling, PE28 buyers have mostly paid between £205,000 and £590,500, so start from the nearest comparable sale and work outwards; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, typical prices in PE28 sit above the UK average, so a premium over the average needs a reason you can see in the sold homes of the same type.
On any PE28 home we would check what has been applied for nearby (13 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,472 a year), and ask a conveyancer to read the title.
Next step: the free PE28 OfferCheck, which sets flood, crime, planning, council tax and schools next to these prices, with every source named.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled PE28 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 5 to decile 9, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
PE28 4QZ, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 7 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so PE28 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in PE28: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

What it costs to run a home in PE28, band by band
Bedford's council tax for 2026-27 set against the PE28 median sold price of £336,500 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the PE28 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
