Scunthorpe property market: common questions
Where is Scunthorpe?
Scunthorpe is in Lincolnshire, covering about 11 square miles.
What is the average house price in Scunthorpe?
The median asking price across the 322 homes for sale in Scunthorpe is £165,000 (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 £130,500 and £210,000. That is 33% below Lincolnshire. Homes that actually sold in Scunthorpe went for a median £152,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in Scunthorpe rising or falling?
Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Scunthorpe is up 48% over the last 10 years and up 3% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Scunthorpe cheaper than Lincolnshire?
Yes: asking prices in Scunthorpe are typically lower than across Lincolnshire. The median asking price in Scunthorpe is £165,000 against £245k across Lincolnshire: 33% below Lincolnshire.

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (322 in Scunthorpe), 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 Scunthorpe since May 2026.
- Lincolnshire comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Lincolnshire, 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 January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 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.
