How Lime Street, Colne prices moved
The chart tracks the median Lime Street, Colne house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1999 to 2017. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 1 | £24,750 | £54,957 |
| 2000s | 1 | £69,000 | £125,698 |
| 2010s | 1 | £78,500 | £110,685 |
The highest yearly median on record for Lime Street, Colne is £78,500 in 2017; the lowest is £24,750 in 1999. Across the full 19-year record the cash median has moved from £24,750 to £78,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £50,430, so the real change over the whole record is +111.9% — about +4.26% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +13.8% in cash against -13.0% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Lime Street, Colne values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Lime Street, Colne is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 58 | 100.0% | £65,000 | £13,000 – £125,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Lime Street, Colne
58 of the sales on record are leasehold and 0 freehold — 100.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 58 | 100.0% | £65,500 |
| Freehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
A further 4 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Living in Lime Street, Colne
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Pendle, 26.8% of 49,697 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 7.8% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Pendle at £658 a month as of Jun 2026 — £488 for a one-bedroom home and £726 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £65,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 12.05% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of BB8, 191 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 86 violent, 4 burglary, 8 vehicle-related and 39 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is about typical.
Against the 95,757 residents the 2021 census counted in Pendle, that is 1.99 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

The neighbourhood around Lime Street, Colne
The 2021 census counted 95,757 residents in Pendle across 38,066 households. 65.2% of those households own their home and 34.8% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
13 state and independent schools have a BB8 postcode: 9 primary, 3 secondary, 1 nursery. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Lime Street, Colne compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Lime Street, Colne sits below that national figure — -58.4%.
Within Colne the street ranks 275 of 387 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £81,500 (-19.6%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,161 per square metre, across 11 of the 58 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £13,000 to £125,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Lime Street, Colne sits in Pendle, in the North West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Pendle at 4.5 times median local earnings of £30,981 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Lime Street, Colne?
The median price paid in Lime Street, Colne across every sale on the register is £65,500. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Lime Street, Colne?
58 sales are on record for Lime Street, Colne, the most recent completing on 9 Mar 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Lime Street, Colne house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +13.8% between 2006 and 2017. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -13.0%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Lime Street, Colne house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £78,500, set in 2017. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Lime Street, Colne?
£1,161 per square metre, from the 11 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 9 Mar 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
