In cash terms the typical DE12 6 home went from £42,300 in 1995 to £247,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 169%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2018, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2018 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DE12 6 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 1997 (+53.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−15.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DE12 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.0% | −1.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
How many homes change hands in DE12 6
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 38 sales completed in DE12 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 176 sales a year before the financial crisis and 92 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.
How DE12 6 trades
Only 38 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DE12 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
What homes rent for around DE12 6
The local authority for DE12 6 is South Derbyshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £874 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £605 a month here against £1,428 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, South Derbyshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £247,500 median purchase price, a rent of £874 a month (£10,488 a year) works out at a 4.2% 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.

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.
