Derby market report DE
The DE (Derby) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Everything below comes from 402,474 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in the DE postcode area (Derby) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Covers registered sales to August 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: 4,889 registered 2026 sales put the the DE postcode area (Derby) median at £232,000, up 7% on five years earlier, with a mean of £269,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,780 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 402,474 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
DE is the postcode area centred on Derby, taking in 23 districts. Figures this wide smooth over big local differences, so use the district reports below for anywhere specific.

What buyers actually paid in DE
Across 4,889 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) DE home went for £232,000. The mean is £269,200, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
DE prices by floor area
The last five years of sales put DE at roughly £2,780 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so DE trades 19% below the country as a whole.
A typical DE home, priced year by year (1995 to 2026)
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical DE home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £232,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 143%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DE 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 2004 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−4.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 35% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £341,500 against £123,500 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 8,856 DE sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 16,076 sales a year before the financial crisis and 10,309 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 tenants pay around DE
For renting purposes DE sits in Derby, the local authority covering most of the DE area (parts fall under Amber Valley and Derbyshire Dales, where rents differ). The ONS average private rent there is £852 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £602 a month here against £1,291 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Derby
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £232,000 median sold price, £852 a month is £10,224 a year, a gross yield of 4.4%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

What happens to DE prices now?
No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 7% over five years in cash but down 16% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
DE's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in DE sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 1,096 homes currently on the market from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 1% above the DE median sold price.
DE registered 8,856 sales in the last twelve months; the 1,096 homes listed now would take about 6 weeks to clear at that rate. The count covers agents publishing to HomesIndex, so the real stock is larger.
14% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
The DE sales calendar
Take the 62,016 DE sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: March completions lead with 10.3% of the total, January trails with 6.4%. The spread between the busiest and quietest months is small, so timing matters less here than in most markets; price and presentation decide more than the calendar.

What another bedroom costs in DE
Real sold prices by size across the DE area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £220,000 | £247,500 (+13%) | £300,000 (+21%) | £385,000 (+28%) | £504,997 (+31%) |
| Semi-detached | £174,000 | £195,000 (+12%) | £220,000 (+13%) | £275,000 (+25%) | £350,000 (+27%) |
