Intake market report DN2, Doncaster
The standing DN2 (Intake) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Everything below comes from 9,997 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in DN2 (Doncaster) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Covers registered sales to August 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: the 2026 median for DN2 (Doncaster) is £180,000, from 93 registered sales, up 9% on five years earlier; the mean is £193,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,970 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 9,997 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
DN2 is the postcode district covering Intake, Wheatley, Wheatley Hills in Doncaster. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

DN2 sold prices: where the market stands
93 sales were registered in DN2 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £180,000. The mean works out at £193,400, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.
What a square metre costs in DN2
Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in DN2 costs about £1,970 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so DN2 trades 37% below the country as a whole.

| 1996 | £38,500 | £81,195 | 275 |
| 1995 | £36,800 | £79,998 | 230 |
In cash terms the typical DN2 home went from £36,800 in 1995 to £180,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 125%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 14% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DN2 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 (+33.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−6.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DN2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +2.9% | +0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +5.4% | +1.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.0% | +1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
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, 68% of the typed total. In 2022, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £285,000 against £101,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

How many homes change hands in DN2
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 194 DN2 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 410 sales a year before the financial crisis and 288 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What tenants pay around DN2
DN2 falls under Doncaster, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £689 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £489 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,070 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Doncaster
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £180,000 median purchase price, a rent of £689 a month (£8,268 a year) works out at a 4.6% 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.

What happens to DN2 prices now?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 9% over five years in cash but down 14% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
What is for sale in DN2 right now
Everything above is what homes in DN2 sold for. The live side of the market holds 33 homes at the moment, listed by 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 11% below the DN2 median sold price.
At the pace of the last twelve months' registered sales (194 in DN2), the 33 homes listed here amount to about 2 months of supply. Not every agent publishes to HomesIndex, so the true figure is higher.
Of everything listed here, 10% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

DN2: the homes on offer and the homes that go
Detached homes are 18% of what sold in DN2 over 2024 and 2025 but only 0% of what is listed now: they sell, and there are few to choose from, so a good one is unlikely to hang about.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 0% | 18% |
| Semi-detached | 63% | 65% |
| Terraced | 21% | 17% |
| Flats | 17% | under 5 a year |
Listings are the homes agents publish to HomesIndex today; sales are HM Land Registry registrations. A listing whose type does not say detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat (a plain "house", a bungalow, a park home) is left out of the listing shares (4 here).
When homes in DN2 change hands
Take the 1,776 DN2 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: September completions lead with 10.0% of the total, April trails with 7.1%. With so little between the busiest and quietest months, DN2 sells year round; the calendar is a weaker lever than price.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 142 | 8.0% |
| February | 138 | 7.8% |
| March | 153 | 8.6% |
| April | 126 | 7.1% |

What another bedroom costs in DN
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DN area, 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 | £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%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
