13 of the 533 postcodes now in use in Peterlee came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 0 of the 238 homes sold in Peterlee were newly built (0%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the SR8 district, 0%.

A new postcode is often a new street or estate, but Royal Mail also makes new postcodes when it reorganises old ones, so not every one means new homes. Only postcodes still in use are counted.
