| 1996 | £32,100 | £67,697 | 94 |
| 1995 | £33,900 | £73,693 | 96 |
In cash terms the typical DN16 2 home went from £33,900 in 1995 to £152,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 106%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2008; the current median sits about 9% below that. Someone who bought at the 2008 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DN16 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 2003 (+50.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−5.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DN16 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.8% | +2.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.1% | −1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
DN16 2 recorded 55 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 156 sales a year before the financial crisis and 105 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Reading the DN16 2 market
Only 55 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DN16 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What tenants pay around DN16 2
For renting purposes DN16 2 sits in North Lincolnshire. The ONS average private rent there is £645 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £152,000 median purchase price, a rent of £645 a month (£7,740 a year) works out at a 5.1% 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.

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. 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.

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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
