What buyers actually paid in PE20 2
The PE20 2 median stands at £230,000 for 2026, built from 15 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £267,000, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
PE20 2 prices by floor area
A square metre of PE20 2 home has cost about £2,470 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so PE20 2 trades 19% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical PE20 2 home went from £50,200 in 1995 to £230,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 111%, 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 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PE20 2 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 2003 (+42.1% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−18.3%). 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) | −0.3% | −2.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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.
PE20 2 recorded 15 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 75 sales a year before the financial crisis and 50 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.
What tenants pay around PE20 2
PE20 2 falls under Boston, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £796 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £597 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,271 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Boston
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £230,000 median sold price, £796 a month is £9,552 a year, a gross yield of 4.2%: 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.
How PE20 2 trades
Only 15 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PE20 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.

What is for sale in PE20 right now
This is what you could actually buy today: 67 homes currently on the market from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole PE20 district, not just PE20 2: live asking prices are collected per district.
25% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
- Boston Road, Kirton, Boston
- Gill End, Brothertoft, Boston, Lincol...
- Hubba Crescent, BOSTON, Lincolnshire,...
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Bedroom by bedroom: PE prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the PE area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £245,000 | £338,000 (+38%) | £482,750 (+43%) | £645,000 (+34%) |
| Semi-detached | £187,000 | £220,000 (+18%) | £257,500 (+17%) | £340,000 (+32%) | £455,000 (+34%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
