Benington market report PE22 8, Boston

The PE22 8 (Benington) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 1,834 registered sales in PE22 8 (Boston) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

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

In short: the 2026 median for PE22 8 (Boston) is £243,000, from 18 registered sales, up 11% on five years earlier; the mean is £285,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,440 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 1,834 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

A postcode sector like PE22 8 is a single group of streets within PE22 (Boston), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

Today's PE22 8 prices, from the sold record

Take the 18 registered 2026 sales in PE22 8 and the middle price, the median, is £243,000. The mean lands at £285,200, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.

House prices per square metre in PE22 8

Measured by floor area, the last five years of PE22 8 sales average about £2,440 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, PE22 8 runs 15% below it.

In cash terms the typical PE22 8 home went from £40,800 in 1995 to £243,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 174%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+32.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−11.8%). 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.

Sales activity in PE22 8

The register shows 18 PE22 8 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 72 sales a year before the financial crisis and 47 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 kind of market PE22 8 is

This is a thin market: 18 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within PE22, this sector trades 10% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

What homes rent for around PE22 8

PE22 8 falls under East Lindsey, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £694 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £515 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,131 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

£694 a month is £8,328 a year, which against the £243,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.4%. 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.

What happens to PE22 8 prices now?

The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 11% over five years in cash but down 12% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.

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.
