How James Street, Grimsby prices moved
The chart tracks the median James Street, Grimsby house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 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 | 2 | £16,903 | £37,532 |
| 2000s | 7 | £60,250 | £109,758 |
| 2020s | 1 | £67,000 | £68,457 |
The highest yearly median on record for James Street, Grimsby is £69,750 in 2007; the lowest is £16,903 in 1998. Across the full 26-year record the cash median has moved from £29,000 to £67,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £61,489, so the real change over the whole record is +26.2% — about +0.94% 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: -3.9% in cash against -36.0% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. James Street, Grimsby 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 | 129 | 100.0% | £45,000 | £2,550 – £91,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in James Street, Grimsby
1 of the sales on record are leasehold and 128 freehold — 0.8% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £10,000 and the median freehold sale £45,000 — a gap of +350.0%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 1 | 0.8% | £10,000 |
| Freehold | 128 | 99.2% | £45,000 |
A further 15 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.
Section 09
How James Street, Grimsby compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. James Street, Grimsby sits below that national figure — -71.4%.
Within Grimsby the street ranks 1355 of 1450 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £90,000 (-50.0%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £424 per square metre, across 40 of the 129 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 £2,550 to £91,000. 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.
