Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on PE5: few sales, so go in with your eyes open
PE5 is a thin market, at roughly 2 sales a month, at a lower median than a year ago, so the pressure is on sellers and buyers can take their time.
When selling here, detached homes typically sold for £520,000 against £250,000 for terraced homes, which explains a spread of £235,500 to £911,250, so lean on the nearest like-for-like sale rather than the middle figure; sales are too rare here to hurry, so give the price a local agent’s sense-check; if certainty matters more than price, a quick cash sale usually means accepting about 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote).
Sell houseFor buyers, PE5 sits well above the UK average for typical prices, but the local median has slipped, so it is fair to test an asking price, though a dip is not a trend.
Do your own homework first: planning history nearby (750 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,293 a year), then hand the title to your conveyancer.
For what the averages cannot tell you, the free PE5 OfferCheck brings flood, crime, planning and council tax together.

In plain English
What the Peterborough (PE5) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £520,000 against £250,000 for terraced homes: about 2.1 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £235,500 and £911,250, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (98%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
Only 132 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.
- This is a quiet district: only about 2 recorded sales a month.

Across the 12 sampled PE5 postcodes, deprivation runs all in decile 7, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
PE5 7AJ, 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 PE5 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in PE5: 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 PE5, band by band
Peterborough's council tax for 2026-27 set against the PE5 median sold price of £420,000 across 132 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 PE5 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.
