The going rate for a home in DN8
Take the 74 registered 2026 sales in DN8 and the middle price, the median, is £153,500. The mean lands at £156,500, almost on top of it, so sales bunch tightly around the typical price.
DN8 prices by floor area
Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in DN8 costs about £1,800 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so DN8 trades 46% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical DN8 home went from £32,000 in 1995 to £153,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 121%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DN8 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 (+38.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−10.0%). 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) | −1.3% | −3.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.9% | −1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 49% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £285,000 against £114,600 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 182 sales completed in DN8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 337 sales a year before the financial crisis and 198 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What homes rent for around DN8
DN8 falls under Doncaster, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £689 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £153,500 median purchase price, a rent of £689 a month (£8,268 a year) works out at a 5.4% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: DN prices by size
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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £210,000 | £282,972 (+35%) | £405,000 (+43%) | £520,000 (+28%) |
| Semi-detached | £145,000 | £158,000 (+9%) | £178,000 (+13%) | £245,000 (+38%) | £312,500 (+28%) |

| Flat | £90,000 | £105,500 (+17%) | £145,000 (+37%) | — | — |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
