In cash terms the typical LN4 3 home went from £47,500 in 1995 to £242,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 135%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 23% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the LN4 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 2002 (+30.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−10.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LN4 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.0% | −5.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.6% | −5.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in LN4 3
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.
The register shows 50 LN4 3 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 184 sales a year before the financial crisis and 124 a year over the last five. 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.
What kind of market LN4 3 is
This is a thin market: 50 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.
What tenants pay around LN4 3
LN4 3 falls under North Kesteven, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £828 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £582 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,316, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, North Kesteven
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £242,500 median sold price, £828 a month is £9,936 a year, a gross yield of 4.1%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in LN
What homes of each size actually sold for across the LN area, 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%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
