In cash terms the typical LN4 4 home went from £40,900 in 1995 to £208,300 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 134%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 13% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LN4 4 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 (+60.0% on the year before); the weakest, 1999 (−10.6%). 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) | +4.2% | +1.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
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.
The register shows 47 LN4 4 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 240 sales a year before the financial crisis and 136 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 tenants pay around LN4 4
For renting purposes LN4 4 sits in East Lindsey. The ONS average private rent there is £694 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £515 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,131, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, East Lindsey
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £208,300 median purchase price, a rent of £694 a month (£8,328 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.
The shape of the LN4 4 market
This is a thin market: 47 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 LN4, this sector trades 15% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

What another bedroom costs in LN
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the LN 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.

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.
