Oundle or wider PE8? Why detached-home medians differ
open for offer lets you test the market before you list. In HM Land Registry's current records, the median 2025 sale with Oundle as its recorded locality was £381,250, across 118 homes.
Across the wider PE8 postcode district it was £375,000, across 310 homes. Neither figure is a valuation of your home.
What is the average house price in Oundle?
It depends on what Oundle covers. Search results may give a figure for the town, postal area or postcode district.
We separate the recorded locality from wider PE8 using the same completion year and category.
| Area used in the calculation | Sales | Median sold price |
|---|---|---|
| PE8 addresses with Oundle as the recorded locality | 118 | £381,250 |
| All qualifying addresses in the PE8 postcode district | 310 | £375,000 |
The locality is an address field in Land Registry's records, not our claim to have drawn the town's official boundary. PE8 includes Oundle and other places.
The district row therefore answers a different question from the Oundle-locality row.
What does a median actually measure?
Median means the middle of the recorded prices when they are put in order.
It is useful because an unusually expensive home does not pull it upwards in the way it can pull an arithmetic average.
But it still describes the homes that sold, rather than every home that exists.
What changes when you compare the same property type?
The headline prices are close. The detached-house figures tell a different story. For addresses recorded in the Oundle locality, the median detached sale was £442,000. Across PE8 it was £490,000.
That is a reason to look inside the district figure before using it as a guide to your own home.
| Property type | Oundle recorded locality | Oundle sales | Wider PE8 | PE8 sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £442,000 | 65 | £490,000 | 169 |
| Semi-detached | £285,000 | 27 | £285,000 | 76 |
| Terraced | £250,000 | 19 | £239,950 | 55 |
Why this is not a location premium
We have left flats and maisonettes out of this comparison because the Oundle-locality sample contains fewer than ten sales.
Publishing a precise figure from a small group would give it more authority than it deserves.
These figures do not show that moving a house across a boundary changes its value. The detached homes sold in one area can differ in size, condition, plot and setting from those sold elsewhere.
Even a property-type comparison leaves those differences unresolved.
How should a seller use these figures?
Start with the location and property type that actually describe your home. A terraced home in Oundle does not become a detached home because both appear in a district average.
Put the relevant row beside recent completed sales for homes you can reasonably compare with yours.
Then check the dates and the details. An extension, a substantial renovation, an unusual plot or a different setting can make a nearby sale a poor guide.
A completed price also describes an agreement reached in the past. The figures above concern 2025 completions, not asking prices or a forecast for today.
Start with an estimate, then check the home
For an initial automated estimate, use our Oundle house valuation guide. It explains what the estimate uses and its limits.
An automated estimate is not a survey or RICS valuation, and no one visits your home to produce it.
How should a buyer use them?
Use the table to make your comparisons more specific. If a property is described as Oundle but has a PE8 address elsewhere, establish the actual location before choosing which figures to use.
Then compare the property type and the individual home, rather than treating the district median as a suitable offer.
On open for offer, a property record does not by itself mean a home is available to buy. Check the status of the home you are viewing.
Buyers can register interest in a home on its page, whether or not it is listed with us. Registering interest is not an agreement to sell.
What if you are not ready to list?
open for offer is the pre-market, the market that exists before a property is ever advertised. The decision to sell can come after you have looked at the evidence for your own home.

Where do the figures come from?
Our calculations use HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, retrieved directly from its public linked-data service on 2 November 2026.
We selected current PE8 transaction records, completed from 1 January to 31 December 2025, in the standard-price-paid category. The sample includes detached, semi-detached and terraced homes, and flats or maisonettes.
Additional-price-paid transactions and other property types are excluded.
The Oundle subset requires the recorded locality to be OUNDLE. Every transaction appears once. Late registrations and changes to records can alter historical totals.
These are nominal completed-sale prices, not estimates, asking prices or a measure of price growth. The type table omits categories with fewer than ten Oundle-locality sales.
