In cash terms the typical PE22 home went from £45,900 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 120%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 23% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PE22 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 (+29.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.7%). 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, 77% of the typed total.

How many homes change hands in PE22
How many homes change hands
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 177 sales completed in PE22. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 329 sales a year before the financial crisis and 213 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 PE22
The local authority for PE22 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.
£694 a month is £8,328 a year, which against the £220,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. 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 price of an extra bedroom in PE
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PE 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.
