In cash terms the typical DE15 home went from £44,500 in 1995 to £215,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 122%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 23% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DE15 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 2017 (+23.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−10.7%). 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, 39% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £325,500 against £95,000 for a flat, 3.4 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.4% | −6.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.6% | −5.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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 DE15
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 294 sales completed in DE15. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 457 sales a year before the financial crisis and 310 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around DE15
DE15 falls under East Staffordshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £838 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £600 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,374, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, East Staffordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £215,000 median purchase price, a rent of £838 a month (£10,056 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.
The shape of the DE15 market
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.

The price of an extra bedroom in DE
Real sold prices by size across the DE area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £255,000 | £348,918 (+37%) | £540,000 (+55%) | £710,000 (+31%) |
| Semi-detached | £177,000 | £205,000 (+16%) | £247,000 (+20%) | £318,950 (+29%) | £452,500 (+42%) |

| Flat | £110,000 | £145,000 (+32%) | £235,000 (+62%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
