DN17 4 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.

What a home in DN17 4 sells for

In the DN17 4 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £225,000, from 45 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £258,800, sitting well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.

DN17 4 prices by floor area

The last five years of sales put DN17 4 at roughly £2,160 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts DN17 4 21% below the country at large.

In cash terms the typical DN17 4 home went from £46,000 in 1995 to £225,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 125%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 5% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+39.6% on the year before); the weakest, 1998 (−16.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.

Transaction volumes

DN17 4 recorded 45 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 155 sales a year before the financial crisis and 79 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.

What kind of market DN17 4 is

Only 45 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DN17 4 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 4 sits 32% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Rents around DN17 4

DN17 4 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.

Against the £225,000 median purchase price, a rent of £645 a month (£7,740 a year) works out at a 3.4% 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.

Common questions on DN17 4 (Althorpe)

Where do DN17 4 prices go next?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 20% over five years in cash but down 5% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
