In cash terms the typical DN4 7 home went from £56,000 in 1995 to £235,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 93%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2005. The market now sits about 26% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DN4 7 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 (+42.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−10.8%). 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) | −6.0% | −8.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −3.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.8% |
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.
How many homes change hands in DN4 7
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 register shows 47 DN4 7 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 175 sales a year before the financial crisis and 126 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.
What tenants pay around DN4 7
For renting purposes DN4 7 sits in Doncaster. The ONS average private rent there is £689 a month (May 2026). 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 £235,000 median purchase price, a rent of £689 a month (£8,268 a year) works out at a 3.5% 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.
The shape of the DN4 7 market
This is a thin market: 47 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. Within DN4, this sector trades 27% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

What another bedroom costs in DN
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.
