DN17 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside DN17 (Scunthorpe). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical DN17 1 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £141,000 in 2026, roughly 3.5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 62%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 29% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DN17 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 2003 (+30.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−11.8%). 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) | −11.2% | −13.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.6% | −5.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.0% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
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.
DN17 1 recorded 59 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 207 sales a year before the financial crisis and 127 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.
How DN17 1 trades
This is a thin market: 59 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 DN17, this sector trades 17% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around DN17 1
DN17 1 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.
Against the £141,000 median purchase price, a rent of £645 a month (£7,740 a year) works out at a 5.5% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in DN
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%) |

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.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
