In cash terms the typical DN31 home went from £26,000 in 1995 to £83,500 in 2026, roughly 3.2 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 48%: 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 32% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DN31 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 (+44.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.4% | +1.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.7% | +1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.2% | −1.6% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 83% of the typed total. In 2024, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £199,000 against £38,000 for a flat, 5.2 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 103 sales completed in DN31. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 334 sales a year before the financial crisis and 122 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.
How DN31 trades
Only 103 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DN31 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. DN31 is currently the cheapest district of its postcode area by median price, which cuts both ways: the lowest entry price, and the least priced-in expectation.
What homes rent for around DN31
DN31 falls under North East Lincolnshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £618 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £435 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £915, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, North East Lincolnshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £83,500 median purchase price, a rent of £618 a month (£7,416 a year) works out at a 8.9% 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 another bedroom costs in DN
Real sold prices by size across the DN area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £210,000 | £282,972 (+35%) | £405,000 (+43%) | £520,000 (+28%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
