Estate agents in Peterborough: what to ask before you choose one
open for offer is the pre-market, not an estate agent. Before you invite one round, see what homes like yours sold for and our market estimate for yours.
What Peterborough homes sold for in 2025
These are sales in postcode districts PE1 to PE4, PE6 and PE7. Some of PE6 and PE7 lies outside the city of Peterborough and outside Peterborough City Council. Prices by district are on our Peterborough house prices page.
| Property type | Median | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | £341,000 | 1,288 |
| Semi-detached | £239,838 | 1,188 |
| Terraced | £195,000 | 737 |
| Flat or maisonette | £125,000 | 209 |
| All homes | £250,000 | 3,422 |
These are median prices for homes that actually completed in 2025. Our Peterborough house price trend page uses the UK House Price Index instead — a modelled average for a single month, for the City of Peterborough council area rather than postcode districts PE1 to PE4, PE6 and PE7 — so its figures are not the same as these and are not meant to match.

Four questions for any agent
- Which sold homes is your figure based on?
Ask for addresses and dates, then check them against HM Land Registry. - What is your fee, as a percentage including VAT, and is it payable if I find the buyer myself?
If the contract uses the words "sole agency", "sole selling rights" or "ready, willing and able purchaser", the agent must give you the explanation the law prescribes for that term, in writing, before you are committed (Estate Agents Act 1979). - How long is the tie-in, and the notice to end it?
- Which redress scheme are you a member of?
An estate agent selling homes has to belong to an approved redress scheme and must tell you which one. Ask for the name, then check the agent is listed on that scheme's own website.
Is open for offer a member of an estate agents' redress scheme?
No. We are not an estate agent — we do not sell homes, hold keys, carry out viewings or negotiate for you — and those schemes are for estate agents. If you have a complaint about open for offer, email clients@openforoffer.com.
Before the valuations
