In cash terms the typical LN9 6 home went from £43,200 in 1995 to £185,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 97%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 29% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LN9 6 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 (+30.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−17.9%). 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) | −11.9% | −14.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.1% | −6.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.8% | −2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.3% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
LN9 6 recorded 28 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 120 sales a year before the financial crisis and 91 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 rental side of LN9 6
The local authority for LN9 6 is East Lindsey, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £694 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £185,000 median purchase price, a rent of £694 a month (£8,328 a year) works out at a 4.5% 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.
Reading the LN9 6 market
This is a thin market: 28 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.

Moving up a bedroom in LN: the cost
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%) |
