In cash terms the typical DN15 8 home went from £41,200 in 1995 to £155,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 73%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 21% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DN15 8 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 (+44.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−9.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.9% | −7.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
DN15 8 recorded 63 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 245 sales a year before the financial crisis and 133 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 DN15 8
DN15 8 falls under North Lincolnshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £645 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £465 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,047, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, North Lincolnshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £155,000 median purchase price, a rent of £645 a month (£7,740 a year) works out at a 5.0% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: DN prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DN area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £210,000 | £282,972 (+35%) | £405,000 (+43%) | £520,000 (+28%) |
