In cash terms the typical DN17 2 home went from £41,000 in 1995 to £167,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 88%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DN17 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 (+44.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−13.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DN17 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.7% | +2.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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.
Sales activity in DN17 2
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
DN17 2 recorded 73 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 198 sales a year before the financial crisis and 139 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.
The rental side of DN17 2
For renting purposes DN17 2 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.
Set against the £167,500 median sold price, £645 a month is £7,740 a year, a gross yield of 4.6%: 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. 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.
