In short: a typical DN21 5 (Gainsborough) home changed hands for £239,000 in 2026 (median of 40 registered sales, down 2% on five years earlier), with the mean at £254,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,200 per square metre over the last five years. Source: 3,057 completed sales on the HM Land Registry record since 1995, updated with each monthly release. No valuations, no asking prices.

DN21 5 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside DN21 (Gainsborough). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What DN21 5 homes really sell for

Take the 40 registered 2026 sales in DN21 5 and the middle price, the median, is £239,000. The mean lands at £254,700, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.

House prices per square metre in DN21 5

A square metre of DN21 5 home has cost about £2,200 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so DN21 5 trades 16% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical DN21 5 home went from £46,500 in 1995 to £239,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 136%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2004. The market now sits about 23% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+86.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−44.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years

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.

Transaction volumes

DN21 5 recorded 40 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 126 sales a year before the financial crisis and 81 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.

What tenants pay around DN21 5

For renting purposes DN21 5 sits in West Lindsey. The ONS average private rent there is £728 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £531 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,129 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

Against the £239,000 median purchase price, a rent of £728 a month (£8,736 a year) works out at a 3.7% 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.

Reading the DN21 5 market

This is a thin market: 40 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. Within DN21, this sector trades 38% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Common questions on DN21 5 (Kirton Lindsey)

Will DN21 5 prices rise from here?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 23% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
