House prices per square metre in DN16

| 1996 | £35,000 | £73,813 | 334 |
| 1995 | £36,000 | £78,258 | 342 |
In cash terms the typical DN16 home went from £36,000 in 1995 to £160,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 104%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2008; the current median sits about 17% 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 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 (+36.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
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, 55% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £232,500 against £85,800 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.7% | +4.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.2% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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
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 last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 393 DN16 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 664 sales a year before the financial crisis and 407 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The rental side of DN16
For renting purposes DN16 sits in North Lincolnshire. The ONS average private rent there is £645 a month (May 2026). 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 £160,000 median purchase price, a rent of £645 a month (£7,740 a year) works out at a 4.8% 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
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%) |
| 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%) | — | — |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
