Doncaster market report DN
The DN (Doncaster) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 386,407 registered sales in the DN postcode area (Doncaster) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to August 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register. Page updated 19 October 2026.

4,833 sales were registered in DN in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £179,000. The mean works out at £203,100, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.
What a square metre costs in DN
By floor space, homes in DN have sold for about £2,060 per square metre on average over the last five years: the like-for-like measure that lets you compare a small flat with a large house, from the Energy Performance Certificate floor areas behind each sale.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts DN 37% below the country at large.

In cash terms the typical DN home went from £39,500 in 1995 to £179,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 108%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DN median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+30.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−3.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 38% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £285,000 against £95,000 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
DN recorded 8,773 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 16,808 sales a year before the financial crisis and 10,086 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around DN
For renting purposes DN sits in Doncaster, the local authority covering most of the DN area (parts fall under North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire, where rents differ). The ONS average private rent there is £689 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £489 a month here against £1,070 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Doncaster
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £179,000 median purchase price, a rent of £689 a month (£8,268 a year) works out at a 4.6% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 8% over five years in cash but down 14% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
On the market in DN today
Everything above is what homes in DN sold for. The live side of the market holds 1,676 homes at the moment, listed by 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 9% above the DN median sold price.
DN registered 8,773 sales in the last twelve months; the 1,676 homes listed now would take about 2 months to clear at that rate. The count covers agents publishing to HomesIndex, so the real stock is larger.
Of everything listed here, 14% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.

- Normanby Road, Scunthorpe, Scunthorpe
- Sluice Road, South Ferriby, Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

The DN sales calendar
Take the 60,204 DN sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: March completions lead with 9.7% of the total, January trails with 6.6%. The spread between the busiest and quietest months is small, so timing matters less here than in most markets; price and presentation decide more than the calendar.

| January | 3,944 | 6.6% |
| February | 4,456 | 7.4% |

The price of an extra bedroom in DN
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the DN area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £185,000 | £209,725 (+13%) | £245,000 (+17%) | £308,750 (+26%) | £400,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £140,000 | £154,725 (+11%) | £165,348 (+7%) | £210,000 (+27%) | £265,000 (+26%) |
| Terraced | £105,000 | £118,000 (+12%) | £110,000 (-7%) | £145,000 (+32%) | £175,000 (+21%) |
| Flat | £86,000 | £103,750 (+21%) | £125,000 (+20%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

Before you sell in DN: what the record supports
Start from what homes here actually sold for, not an estimate. Before booking a house valuation or flat valuation in DN, use the average prices map for a rough value: zoom from DN's shading down to the sold homes on your own street. The figures above are every recorded DN sale; agents price with this same Land Registry record, and now you have it too.

Method, briefly: HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0) supplies every sale, geocoded to address level; CPIH from the ONS restates prices in today's money; ONS local-authority figures supply the rents.
