In cash terms the typical DN21 home went from £40,500 in 1995 to £173,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 97%, 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 16% 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 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 (+35.3% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−13.6%). 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
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.1% | −3.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 36% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £280,000 against £84,000 for a flat, 3.3 times the price.

Sales activity in DN21
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
DN21 recorded 514 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 982 sales a year before the financial crisis and 570 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
For renting purposes DN21 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.
Average monthly rent by size, West Lindsey
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £173,500 median purchase price, a rent of £728 a month (£8,736 a year) works out at a 5.0% 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. 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.
