While houses in other cities like Liverpool have been spending longer on the market year by year lately, sales of properties across Lincoln remain relatively stagnant, with little change between 2024 and 2025.
That said, some property types, such as flats, typically take around a year to sell on average. When you consider that there were 18% more flats for sale across Lincoln in the year to September 2025, it suggests that the market is saturated and sellers are coming up against property hunters who simply have too much choice.
Our CEO, Karl McArdle, shares his thoughts on the state of the property market in Lincoln at the moment:
“We are often seeing the number of properties for sale in cities increasing across the UK, while the time on market either stays the same or increases on average.
“This means that sellers in places like Lincoln are struggling to offload their properties and move on with their lives because they can’t find the right buyer quickly enough.
“We’ve heard many stories of people missing out on their dream homes because they didn’t know it was possible to sell faster to a cash buyer. You don’t have to wait on the open market to sell up and move on at your own pace.”
— Karl McArdle, The Property Buying Company
Check out the challenges that homeowners with houses with an LN postcode are facing in 2025 and beyond.
Sellers in Lincoln are facing an increasing amount of competition on the open market, with more for buyers to choose from across every property type in the year to September 2025, according to Home.co.uk data.
❌ The bad news: More properties mean more competition and a lower likelihood of finding the right buyer quickly.
✔ The good news: You can sell your home quickly to a cash buyer like us and remove the stress of competition.
In the year to July 2025, the average cost of a house in Lincoln increased by 4% to £184,000, according to ONS data. It’s no surprise that house prices are increasing, but this rise was higher than that across the whole East Midlands area, so Lincoln homeowners might be struggling more than most to find a buyer willing to pay more.
❌ The bad news: Buyers in Lincoln might be reticent to take the plunge and buy a house quickly and could be waiting it out, forcing sellers to hang around.
✔ The good news: The Property Buying Company can buy straight away and remove the need to wait for the right buyer on the open market.
Whatever pressures you’re feeling as a homeowner trying to sell, we can help you get it sorted quickly, no matter where you are in the Lincolnshire area. From West and East Lindsey to Boston and Lincoln, sellers like you can benefit from working with a cash buyer like us to complete quickly and efficiently.

It might seem like a daunting and difficult process to sell your Lincoln house fast, but there are ways to make sure it’s not a drag.
Homeowners have a variety of options for selling up quickly, whether you’re in Lincoln itself or the wider Lincolnshire area. Here are the three most common ways to sell your property:
YOU PAY | AVERAGE SALE TIME | |
---|---|---|
Selling at an auction | £2.5k-5k | 6-10 weeks |
Selling with The Property Buying Company | £0 | 2-3 weeks |
Selling via estate agents | £1k-5k | 16-52 weeks |
Properties of various kinds are spending around half a year on the market in Lincoln and have been doing so consistently for a couple of years. According to Home.co.uk, there was a slight fall in the length of time on market across the board, but the greatest drop was only by 6%, with semi-detached properties spending 143 days on sale in the year to September 2025 versus the previous year.
Some property types are spending closer to a year on sale, with flats looking at an average of 315 days over the same period. This means sellers are being made to wait to sell their properties and move on in the Lincoln area.
The option of selling to a cash buyer like The Property Buying Company reduces that wait significantly, with some sales completing in as little as seven days. You won’t even have to pay the usual fees either, as we’ll cover them for you.
