In cash terms the typical DN17 3 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 176%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2010. The market now sits about 7% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DN17 3 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 1997 (+60.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−24.8%). 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) | +26.3% | +23.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.5% | +0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.8% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +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 3
Sales per year, counted
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.
The register shows 38 DN17 3 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 164 sales a year before the financial crisis and 85 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 3
DN17 3 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.
Set against the £240,000 median sold price, £645 a month is £7,740 a year, a gross yield of 3.2%: 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.
Reading the DN17 3 market
Only 38 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DN17 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the DN17 district median, DN17 3 sits 41% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Moving up a bedroom in DN: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DN area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £117,000 | £110,000 (-6%) | £116,000 (+5%) | £165,000 (+42%) | £265,000 (+61%) |
| Flat | £90,000 | £105,500 (+17%) | £145,000 (+37%) | — | — |
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.
