How Herbert Street, Mexborough prices moved
The chart tracks the median Herbert Street, Mexborough house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2015. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 1 | £25,000 | £55,512 |
| 2000s | 5 | £32,325 | £58,887 |
| 2010s | 1 | £58,500 | £82,485 |
The highest yearly median on record for Herbert Street, Mexborough is £68,500 in 2008; the lowest is £23,248 in 2000. Across the full 20-year record the cash median has moved from £25,000 to £58,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £54,231, so the real change over the whole record is +52.1% — about +2.23% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +81.0% in cash against +35.0% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Herbert Street, Mexborough values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Herbert Street, Mexborough is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 72 | 100.0% | £44,250 | £8,250 – £96,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Herbert Street, Mexborough
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 72 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 72 | 100.0% | £48,625 |
A further 14 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Doncaster, 38.8% of 155,404 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 4.2% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Doncaster at £690 a month as of Jun 2026 — £490 for a one-bedroom home and £752 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £48,625 here, that rent is a gross yield of 17.03% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of S64, 224 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 86 violent, 8 burglary, 6 vehicle-related and 24 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.3 times busier.
Against the 308,106 residents the 2021 census counted in Doncaster, that is 0.73 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Herbert Street, Mexborough sits in Doncaster, in the Yorkshire and The Humber.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Doncaster at 5.2 times median local earnings of £33,802 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Herbert Street, Mexborough?

When were Herbert Street, Mexborough house prices at their highest?
