Underneath every chart here sit 16,762 registered sales in DN15 (Scunthorpe) 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 July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 180 registered 2026 sales put the DN15 (Scunthorpe) median at £160,000, up 14% on five years earlier, with a mean of £174,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,880 per square metre over the last five years.

The postcode district DN15 covering Scunthorpe town centre, Alkborough, Appleby sits in Scunthorpe. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

| 1996 | £38,000 | £80,140 | 546 |
| 1995 | £36,000 | £78,258 | 460 |
In cash terms the typical DN15 home went from £36,000 in 1995 to £160,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 104%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DN15 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 (+29.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−9.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.0% | −5.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
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, 47% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £241,000 against £59,500 for a flat, 4.1 times the price.

How many homes change hands in DN15
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
DN15 recorded 372 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 779 sales a year before the financial crisis and 401 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.
The rental side of DN15
DN15 falls under North Lincolnshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £645 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £465 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,047 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, North Lincolnshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £160,000 median sold price, £645 a month is £7,740 a year, a gross yield of 4.8%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Moving up a bedroom in DN: the cost
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 | — | £210,000 | £282,972 (+35%) | £405,000 (+43%) | £520,000 (+28%) |
| Semi-detached | £145,000 | £158,000 (+9%) | £178,000 (+13%) | £245,000 (+38%) | £312,500 (+28%) |

| Flat | £90,000 | £105,500 (+17%) | £145,000 (+37%) | — | — |
Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
