In cash terms the typical DN4 9 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £181,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 109%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DN4 9 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 (+56.5% on the year before); the weakest, 1999 (−8.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.8% | +4.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 44 sales completed in DN4 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 209 sales a year before the financial crisis and 116 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 9
For renting purposes DN4 9 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 £181,500 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.
How DN4 9 trades
This is a thin market: 44 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 price of an extra bedroom in DN
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the DN area. 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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
