In cash terms the typical DE21 6 home went from £33,400 in 1995 to £187,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 158%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 9% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DE21 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 2004 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.1% | −1.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.6% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
Sales activity in DE21 6
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.
The register shows 85 DE21 6 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 291 sales a year before the financial crisis and 159 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.
Rents around DE21 6
DE21 6 falls under Derby, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £852 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
£852 a month is £10,224 a year, which against the £187,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.5%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

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.
