A postcode sector like DN1 2 is a single group of streets within DN1 (Doncaster), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

In cash terms the typical DN1 2 home went from £24,500 in 1995 to £105,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 97%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 29% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DN1 2 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 2004 (+55.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−18.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +10.5% | +7.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.1% | −1.7% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
DN1 2 recorded 19 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 175 sales a year before the financial crisis and 57 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.
How DN1 2 trades
This is a thin market: 19 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
The rental side of DN1 2
For renting purposes DN1 2 sits in Doncaster. The ONS average private rent there is £689 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £489 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,070 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Doncaster
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £105,000 median purchase price, a rent of £689 a month (£8,268 a year) works out at a 7.9% 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.

Is DN1 2 (Doncaster city centre) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in DN1 2 (Doncaster city centre)?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 10% over five years in cash but down 13% after inflation.

What you could buy in DN1 now
Turning to what is actually available: 33 homes on the market right now, from 7 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole DN1 district, not just DN1 2: live asking prices are collected per district.
10% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

What another bedroom costs in DN
Real sold prices by size across the DN area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | £210,000 | £282,972 (+35%) | £405,000 (+43%) | £520,000 (+28%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
