Bottesford market report DN16 1, Scunthorpe
The DN16 1 (Bottesford) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 2,962 registered sales in DN16 1 (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.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 33 registered 2026 sales put the DN16 1 (Scunthorpe) median at £130,000, up 18% on five years earlier, with a mean of £130,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,460 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 2,962 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
DN16 1 is one sector of DN16 (Scunthorpe): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

In cash terms the typical DN16 1 home went from £31,000 in 1995 to £130,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 93%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 13% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DN16 1 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 (+39.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−14.4%). 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) | +4.0% | +1.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.4% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.6% | +1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 33 DN16 1 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 146 sales a year before the financial crisis and 78 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.
What kind of market DN16 1 is
This is a thin market: 33 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within DN16, this sector trades 19% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What tenants pay around DN16 1
DN16 1 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 £130,000 median purchase price, a rent of £645 a month (£7,740 a year) works out at a 6.0% 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.

If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
What you could buy in DN16 now

These cover the whole DN16 district, not just DN16 1: live asking prices are collected per district.

What another bedroom costs in DN
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the DN area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £210,000 | £282,972 (+35%) | £405,000 (+43%) | £520,000 (+28%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
