What DN17 homes really sell for
The DN17 median stands at £173,000 for 2026, built from 248 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £201,300, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
What a square metre costs in DN17
A square metre of DN17 home has cost about £1,950 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so DN17 trades 39% below the country as a whole.
A typical DN17 home, priced year by year (1995 to 2026)
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

| 1995 | £40,000 | £86,954 | 379 |
In cash terms the typical DN17 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £173,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 99%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DN17 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 (+38.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−9.1%). 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, 49% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £250,000 against £90,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

| Semi-detached | £160,000 | 129 | 7,982 |
| Terraced | £132,600 | 36 | 2,266 |

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +1.8% | −0.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +3.0% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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
How many homes change hands
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 417 sales completed in DN17. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 724 sales a year before the financial crisis and 438 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.
Rents around DN17
For renting purposes DN17 sits in North Lincolnshire. The ONS average private rent there is £645 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £173,000 median sold price, £645 a month is £7,740 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: 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.

"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

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. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £185,000 | £209,725 (+13%) | £245,000 (+17%) | £308,750 (+26%) | £400,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £140,000 | £154,725 (+11%) | £165,348 (+7%) | £210,000 (+27%) | £265,000 (+26%) |
| Terraced | £105,000 | £118,000 (+12%) | £110,000 (-7%) | £145,000 (+32%) | £175,000 (+21%) |
| Flat | £86,000 | £103,750 (+21%) | £125,000 (+20%) | — | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
