Doncaster house prices and rents
£172,000: that was the typical Doncaster sale price in July 2026 on the UK House Price Index, up from £164,000 a year earlier. The Yorkshire and The Humber figure was £209,116, so Doncaster sits below its region.
Detached homes averaged £262,000, semi-detached £170,000, terraced £135,000 and flats or maisonettes £90,000. Over the year, terraced prices rose 5.3% while flats were around the same as a year earlier.
By buyer, the Doncaster averages were £156,000 for a first purchase, £196,000 for a move, £173,000 with a mortgage and £170,000 in cash.
Private rents in Doncaster averaged £694 a month in August 2026, up 5.3% from £659. One-bedroom homes let for £493, two bedrooms £636, three £757 and four or more £1,076.
Against £865 across Yorkshire and The Humber (+4.9%), Doncaster rents grew faster than the regional figure. Within that, three-bedroom rents rose 5.8% and terraced 5.6%.
In context, Doncaster homes averaged 37.0% less than the UK figure of £273,000, while home-movers paid £40,000 more than first-time buyers (£196,000 against £156,000), and rents outpaced prices, up 5.3% against +4.7% for values, and a four-bedroom let cost 2.2 times a one-bedroom let.
Loan sizes and yields in Doncaster
Take £135,000, the Doncaster terraced average: a lender advancing 70% would put up close to £95,000. On a £170,000 semi at 75% the figure is nearer £130,000. Both are before deductions for retained interest and arrangement fees.
Where the exit is a buy-to-let mortgage, a Doncaster flat letting at £551 against a £90,000 average price yields about 7.3% gross, and a terrace at £697 against £135,000 about 6.2%. Yields like these tend to leave headroom in a buy-to-let rental calculation. Our bridging calculator covers the cost of the bridge itself.
Stamp Duty Land Tax on a Doncaster purchase
A terraced house at the £135,000 average would cost about £6,950 in Stamp Duty Land Tax, and a flat at £90,000 about £4,500, for an individual buying an additional home, on the GOV.UK rates with the 5% surcharge for additional property.
