Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: 52 registered 2026 sales put the LN2 3 (Lincoln) median at £250,000, down 9% on five years earlier, with a mean of £262,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,900 per square metre over the last five years.

LN2 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside LN2 (Lincoln). 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.

Price per square metre in LN2 3
Per square metre, LN2 3 homes have averaged around £2,900 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.

In cash terms the typical LN2 3 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 125%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2019, and today's median remains roughly 30% under it: a 2019 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LN2 3 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 2013 (+30.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−24.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −12.0% | −14.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.9% | −6.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 52 sales completed in LN2 3. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 140 sales a year recently, against 158 a year before 2008. 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.
Rents around LN2 3
For renting purposes LN2 3 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.
£728 a month is £8,736 a year, which against the £250,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.5%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
What kind of market LN2 3 is
This is a thin market: 52 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. 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 LN2 district median, LN2 3 sits 13% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Where do LN2 3 prices go next?

Bedroom by bedroom: LN prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the LN area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £225,000 | £315,000 (+40%) | £449,950 (+43%) | £600,000 (+33%) |
| Semi-detached | £167,500 | £189,045 (+13%) | £230,000 (+22%) | £285,500 (+24%) | £420,000 (+47%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
