In cash terms the typical LN6 home went from £46,000 in 1995 to £228,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 128%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 13% 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 LN6 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 (+29.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−5.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 44% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £292,500 against £135,500 for a flat, 2.2 times the price.

What LN6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.9% | −3.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 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.
How many homes change hands in LN6
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
LN6 recorded 812 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,314 sales a year before the financial crisis and 807 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the LN6 market
LN6 sits 4 of 13 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
What tenants pay around LN6

Average monthly rent by size, Lincoln
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £228,000 median purchase price, a rent of £951 a month (£11,412 a year) works out at a 5.0% 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.

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