In cash terms the typical LN4 1 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 109%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 24% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LN4 1 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 2003 (+34.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−10.9%). 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) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in LN4 1
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
LN4 1 recorded 87 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 231 sales a year before the financial crisis and 170 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 LN4 1
For renting purposes LN4 1 sits in North Kesteven. The ONS average private rent there is £828 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £582 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,316 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, North Kesteven
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £250,000 median purchase price, a rent of £828 a month (£9,936 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: LN prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the LN area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

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.
