Homes that sold twice

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. West Lane, Horncastle 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 | 52 | 91.2% | £195,000 | £46,000 – £450,000 |
| Terraced | 3 | 5.3% | £99,950 | £95,000 – £185,000 |
| Semi-detached | 2 | 3.5% | £114,950 | £114,950 – £125,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in West Lane, Horncastle
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 57 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 | 57 | 100.0% | £190,000 |
| New build | 4 | 7.0% | £74,800 |
| Existing home | 53 | 93.0% | £195,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -61.6%. 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 3 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 West Lane, Horncastle compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. West Lane, Horncastle sits above that national figure — +20.6%.
Within Horncastle the street ranks 50 of 167 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £136,500 (+39.2%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £46,000 to £450,000. 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in West Lane, Horncastle?

When were West Lane, Horncastle house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £325,000, set in 2022. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.

How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 14 Aug 2025. 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.
