Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on PE38: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
At around 23 sales a month, PE38 ticks along steadily, so there is a fair body of evidence, but not enough of it for a trustworthy twelve-month trend.
When selling here, most sales in PE38 fell between £158,384 and £425,000, so narrow down to sold homes that match yours before you pick a price; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseFor buyers, on price, PE38 is close to the UK average, so use the sold range on this page as your yardstick.
Do your own homework first: planning history nearby (244 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,485 a year), then hand the title to your conveyancer.
Prices are only part of the picture: the free PE38 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning, council tax and schools, and the Report says which deserve your attention.

These are East Cambridgeshire's charges for 2026-27, the authority PE38 falls in, not an estimate for any individual home. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

Across the 12 sampled PE38 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 3 to decile 8, with a median of decile 5 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
PE38 9QS, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 5 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 PE38 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in PE38: 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.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in PE38, band by band
East Cambridgeshire's council tax for 2026-27 set against the PE38 median sold price of £260,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearEast Cambridgeshire | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £260,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,657 | £138 | 0.64% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,933 | £161 | 0.74% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,209 | £184 | 0.85% |
| D | £68,001–£88,000 | £2,485 | £207 | 0.96% |
| E | £88,001–£120,000 | £3,037 | £253 | 1.17% |
| F | £120,001–£160,000 | £3,590 | £299 | 1.38% |
| G | £160,001–£320,000 | £4,142 | £345 | 1.59% |
| H | over £320,000 | £4,970 | £414 | 1.91% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the PE38 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.
