Algarkirk market report PE20 1, Boston

The PE20 1 (Algarkirk) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. The raw material for this page is 3,596 HM Land Registry entries for PE20 1 (Boston), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.

Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

In short: a typical PE20 1 (Boston) home changed hands for £230,000 in 2026 (median of 42 registered sales, up 8% on five years earlier), with the mean at £240,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,350 per square metre over the last five years. Source: 3,596 completed sales on the HM Land Registry record since 1995, updated with each monthly release. No valuations, no asking prices.

PE20 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside PE20 (Boston). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What a home in PE20 1 sells for

In the PE20 1 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £230,000, from 42 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £240,700, sitting nearly identical to it, meaning sales cluster closely around the typical figure.

House prices per square metre in PE20 1

By floor space, homes in PE20 1 have sold for about £2,350 per square metre on average over the last five years: the like-for-like measure that lets you compare a small flat with a large house, from the Energy Performance Certificate floor areas behind each sale.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving PE20 1 19% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical PE20 1 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £230,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 107%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2001 (+44.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−10.5%). 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

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.

The turnover behind the prices

PE20 1 recorded 42 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 154 sales a year before the financial crisis and 108 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.

Rents around PE20 1

For renting purposes PE20 1 sits in Boston. The ONS average private rent there is £796 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £597 a month here against £1,271 for four or more bedrooms.

£796 a month is £9,552 a year, which against the £230,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

The shape of the PE20 1 market

This is a thin market: 42 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.

PE20 1 (Algarkirk): the questions that come up

Where do PE20 1 prices go next?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 8% over five years in cash but down 14% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.

Method, briefly: HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0) supplies every sale, geocoded to address level; CPIH from the ONS restates prices in today's money; ONS local-authority figures supply the rents. Medians of real sales, not valuations. No part of this page is financial advice.
