In cash terms the typical DN21 1 home went from £30,000 in 1995 to £138,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 112%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 24% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DN21 1 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+55.8% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−23.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DN21 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −16.4% | −18.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −0.9% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in DN21 1
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
DN21 1 recorded 85 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 357 sales a year before the financial crisis and 226 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around DN21 1
The local authority for DN21 1 is West Lindsey, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £728 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £531 a month here against £1,129 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, West Lindsey
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £138,000 median purchase price, a rent of £728 a month (£8,736 a year) works out at a 6.3% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
How DN21 1 trades
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the DN21 district median, DN21 1 sits 20% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Moving up a bedroom in DN: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DN area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £210,000 | £282,972 (+35%) | £405,000 (+43%) | £520,000 (+28%) |
