How St Catherines Grove, Lincoln prices moved
The chart tracks the median St Catherines Grove, Lincoln house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2025. 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 | 5 | £40,000 | £88,819 |
| 2000s | 10 | £110,000 | £200,388 |
| 2010s | 8 | £123,500 | £174,135 |
| 2020s | 4 | £160,000 | £163,478 |
The highest yearly median on record for St Catherines Grove, Lincoln is £163,750 in 2025; the lowest is £37,875 in 1995. Across the full 31-year record the cash median has moved from £37,875 to £163,750.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £84,100, so the real change over the whole record is +98.9% — about +2.32% 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: +32.6% in cash against -3.9% 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.

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 St Catherines Grove, Lincoln 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. St Catherines Grove, Lincoln 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 | 185 | 75.8% | £115,000 | £25,000 – £268,000 |
| Semi-detached | 53 | 21.7% | £88,000 | £34,950 – £185,000 |
| Detached | 4 | 1.6% | £82,500 | £80,000 – £199,950 |
| Flat or maisonette | 2 | 0.8% | £95,000 | £95,000 – £110,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in St Catherines Grove, Lincoln
2 of the sales on record are leasehold and 242 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 £102,500 and the median freehold sale £110,500 — a gap of +7.8%. 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 | 2 | 0.8% | £102,500 |
| Freehold | 242 | 99.2% | £110,500 |
| New build | 2 | 0.8% | £149,000 |
| Existing home | 242 | 99.2% | £110,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +35.5%. 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 17 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.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Lincoln, 44.8% of 51,712 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.1% 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 Lincoln at £948 a month as of Jun 2026 — £664 for a one-bedroom home and £996 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £110,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 10.34% 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 LN5, 29 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 17 violent, 0 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 5 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 5.8 times quieter.
Against the 103,813 residents the 2021 census counted in Lincoln, that is 0.28 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 St Catherines Grove, Lincoln
The 2021 census counted 103,813 residents in Lincoln across 42,506 households. 51.4% of those households own their home and 48.3% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

St Catherines Grove, Lincoln sits in Lincoln, in the East Midlands.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Lincoln at 5.2 times median local earnings of £35,509 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6.

Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in St Catherines Grove, Lincoln?

The highest yearly median on record is £163,750, set in 2025. 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 St Catherines Grove, Lincoln?
£1,323 per square metre, from the 62 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.

The latest sale shown here completed on 25 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.
