Lowestoft property market: common questions
Where is Lowestoft?
Lowestoft is in Suffolk, covering about 9 square miles.
What is the average house price in Lowestoft?
The median asking price across the 515 homes for sale in Lowestoft is £230,000 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £170,000 and £300,000. That is 27% below Suffolk. Homes that actually sold in Lowestoft went for a median £225,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).
Are house prices in Lowestoft rising or falling?
Rising over the long run, flat over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Lowestoft is up 55% over the last 10 years and broadly flat over the last 12 months (12 months to February 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Lowestoft cheaper than Suffolk?
Yes: asking prices in Lowestoft are typically lower than across Suffolk. The median asking price in Lowestoft is £230,000 against £315k across Suffolk: 27% below Suffolk.

The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (515 in Lowestoft), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Lowestoft since May 2026.
- Suffolk comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Suffolk, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to February 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to August 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
