Wisbech Property Market: House Prices, Sold Data & Development Finance, Q3 2026 Review

Wisbech: Fenland town with Garden Town aspirations and significant regeneration plans.

The Wisbech property market recorded 612 residential sales in the 12 months to 30 June 2026, with a median sale price of £206,500. This places Wisbech £104k below the Cambridgeshire county median of £310,500, and £79k below the approximate UK median of £285,000.

Prices in Wisbech have shown strong growth, a year-on-year change of +3.3%. Within Cambridgeshire, Wisbech ranks 8th by price out of 8 principal towns, and 6th by transaction volume.

On a quarterly view, Wisbech median prices moved from £217,625 in Q1 2025 to £201,000 in Q2 2026, a change of -7.6% over 5 quarters.

Fenland, the local planning authority covering Wisbech, approved 32 residential planning applications and refused 7 in Q3 2026 (1 July to 30 September 2026), with 68 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 82%. Planning figures come from local planning authority records compiled by Landstack, retrieved on 3 October 2026. Councils and Landstack can take several days to publish decisions, so decisions made in the final days of Q3 2026 may not all be included yet.

Schemes approved in Q3 2026, together with those still awaiting a decision, propose around 873 homes, an estimated £167.9m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.

Fenland covers more than one town in Cambridgeshire, so these figures are authority-wide rather than specific to Wisbech alone.

Property prices in Wisbech vary significantly by type. The table below compares Wisbech prices with Cambridgeshire county averages and UK national figures.

Detached homes in Wisbech command £263,750, while flat properties are most accessible at £70,000. The £194k spread between the most and least expensive types indicates a relatively compressed market where margins between types are tighter.

HM Land Registry has so far registered 16 new-build sales in Wisbech for the past 12 months, 2.6% of registered transactions. New-build sales are typically registered 6 to 18 months after completion, so this understates current delivery and is not a completions figure.

Too few new-build sales have registered yet to quote a reliable new-build premium for Wisbech.
