Are new homes being built in Soham?

15 of the 203 postcodes now in use in Soham came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 21 of the 188 homes sold in Soham were newly built (11%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the CB7 district, 10%.

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.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 19 of 203 postcodes High: 100Medium: 13Low: 7Very low: 22
