How Ouse Road, St Ives prices moved
The chart tracks the median Ouse Road, St Ives house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2005. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 3 | £47,000 | £104,362 |
| 2000s | 3 | £105,000 | £191,279 |
The highest yearly median on record for Ouse Road, St Ives is £132,000 in 2005; the lowest is £45,500 in 1996. Across the full 10-year record the cash median has moved from £45,500 to £132,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £98,700, so the real change over the whole record is +143.6% — about +10.40% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +190.1% in cash against +143.6% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Ouse Road, St Ives is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 72 | 90.0% | £105,750 | £41,000 – £285,000 |
| Semi-detached | 5 | 6.3% | £135,000 | £60,000 – £147,500 |
| Detached | 3 | 3.8% | £83,000 | £56,250 – £107,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Ouse Road, St Ives
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 80 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 80 | 100.0% | £105,750 |
A further 3 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Huntingdonshire, 50.7% of 87,760 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.8% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Huntingdonshire at £1,049 a month as of Jun 2026 — £739 for a one-bedroom home and £1,160 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £105,750 here, that rent is a gross yield of 11.90% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of PE27, 115 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 41 violent, 2 burglary, 6 vehicle-related and 17 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.5 times quieter.
Against the 180,832 residents the 2021 census counted in Huntingdonshire, that is 0.64 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Ouse Road, St Ives sits in Huntingdonshire, in the East of England.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Huntingdonshire at 8.7 times median local earnings of £37,098 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6.
