In cash terms the typical DN31 2 home went from £26,000 in 1995 to £87,500 in 2026, roughly 3.4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 55%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 27% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DN31 2 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 2004 (+45.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−17.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +8.7% | +6.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.1% | +1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.3% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 42 sales completed in DN31 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 261 sales a year before the financial crisis and 103 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.
Rents around DN31 2
For renting purposes DN31 2 sits in North East Lincolnshire. The ONS average private rent there is £618 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £435 a month for a typical one-bed to £915 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, North East Lincolnshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £87,500 median sold price, £618 a month is £7,416 a year, a gross yield of 8.5%: 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.
Reading the DN31 2 market
This is a thin market: 42 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
