In cash terms the typical DN21 2 home went from £27,400 in 1995 to £120,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 101%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2008, and today's median remains roughly 26% under it: a 2008 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DN21 2 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 2004 (+63.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−20.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DN21 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.8% | −1.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.3% | −1.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.8% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in DN21 2
How many homes change hands
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 2 recorded 45 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 213 sales a year before the financial crisis and 98 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The shape of the DN21 2 market
This is a thin market: 45 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Against the DN21 district median, DN21 2 sits 31% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around DN21 2
DN21 2 falls under West Lindsey, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £728 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £531 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,129, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, West Lindsey
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £120,000 median purchase price, a rent of £728 a month (£8,736 a year) works out at a 7.3% 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.

What another bedroom costs in DN
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the DN area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
