| 1996 | £29,800 | £62,847 | 130 |
| 1995 | £29,000 | £63,042 | 124 |
In cash terms the typical LN2 5 home went from £29,000 in 1995 to £149,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 137%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LN2 5 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 2002 (+51.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +10.3% | +7.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 24 sales completed in LN2 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 210 sales a year before the financial crisis and 76 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 homes rent for around LN2 5
For renting purposes LN2 5 sits in Lincoln. The ONS average private rent there is £951 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £665 a month here against £1,373 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Lincoln
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £149,500 median sold price, £951 a month is £11,412 a year, a gross yield of 7.6%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
What kind of market LN2 5 is
This is a thin market: 24 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 LN2, this sector trades 32% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

How much did a house sell for in LN2 5 (Nettleham)?
Are property prices falling in LN2 5 (Nettleham)?
Are LN2 5 prices heading up or down?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 15% over five years in cash but down 9% 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.
On the market in LN2 today
This is what you could actually buy today: 144 homes currently on the market from 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole LN2 district, not just LN2 5: live asking prices are collected per district.
29% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: LN prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the LN 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 | — | £225,000 | £315,000 (+40%) | £449,950 (+43%) | £600,000 (+33%) |

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.
