House prices in Doncaster: the areas where average prices increased the most in the last year despite Covid crisis

The coronavirus pandemic caused an unprecedented economic shock in the UK, closing businesses and putting people out of work left, right and centre.

But despite that, average house prices held up across England – even if there was a drop in sales.

It was the same picture in Doncaster however, where prices rose by 3.7 per cent in the year to September 2020. Across Yorkshire and the Humber, prices rose by 3.2 per cent.

The ONS also publishes house price figures by Middle Layer Super Output Areas (MSOAs) – small geographic areas containing an average of 7,200 people.

These show 29 of the 39 MSOAs that make up Doncaster saw a rise in house prices over the same period.

Here we reveal which Doncaster neighbourhoods saw the strongest growth in the year to September 2020.
