In cash terms the typical DE21 2 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £230,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 112%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DE21 2 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 2001 (+25.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−13.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DE21 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.2% | −9.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
DE21 2 recorded 102 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 357 sales a year before the financial crisis and 154 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
How DE21 2 trades
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. Against the DE21 district median, DE21 2 sits 8% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around DE21 2
For renting purposes DE21 2 sits in Derby. 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.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £230,000 median purchase price, a rent of £852 a month (£10,224 a year) works out at a 4.4% 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. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
