How Willingham Road, Gainsborough prices moved
The chart tracks the median Willingham Road, Gainsborough house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2022. 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 | 4 | £55,000 | £122,126 |
| 2000s | 7 | £125,000 | £227,713 |
| 2010s | 3 | £165,000 | £232,650 |
| 2020s | 2 | £210,000 | £214,565 |
The highest yearly median on record for Willingham Road, Gainsborough is £285,000 in 2022; the lowest is £45,000 in 1996. Across the full 27-year record the cash median has moved from £45,000 to £285,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £97,615, so the real change over the whole record is +238.3% — about +4.80% 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: +109.6% in cash against +62.6% 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.

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 Willingham Road, Gainsborough 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. Willingham Road, Gainsborough 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 104 | 61.9% | £170,000 | £36,000 – £1,220,000 |
| Semi-detached | 47 | 28.0% | £106,500 | £30,000 – £225,000 |
| Terraced | 17 | 10.1% | £67,500 | £33,250 – £155,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Willingham Road, Gainsborough
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 168 freehold — 0.0% 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 | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 168 | 100.0% | £134,500 |
| New build | 3 | 1.8% | £169,236 |
| Existing home | 165 | 98.2% | £134,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +26.3%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 10 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.

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.
