In cash terms the typical DN21 4 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 130%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2019; the current median sits about 7% below that. Someone who bought at the 2019 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DN21 4 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 2002 (+58.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−12.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DN21 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +13.6% | +11.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.0% | −0.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in DN21 4
The year-by-year sales count
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 register shows 31 DN21 4 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 120 sales a year before the financial crisis and 75 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the DN21 4 market
This is a thin market: 31 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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 DN21 district median, DN21 4 sits 44% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
Rents around DN21 4
DN21 4 falls under North Lincolnshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £645 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £465 a month here against £1,047 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, North Lincolnshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £250,000 median sold price, £645 a month is £7,740 a year, a gross yield of 3.1%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in DN
Real sold prices by size across the DN area, straight 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.

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.
