| 1996 | £30,000 | £63,269 | 249 |
| 1995 | £29,500 | £64,128 | 259 |
In cash terms the typical DE22 3 home went from £29,500 in 1995 to £145,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 126%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2006, and today's median remains roughly 24% under it: a 2006 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DE22 3 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 2002 (+37.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DE22 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.5% | −8.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.5% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
The register shows 61 DE22 3 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 470 sales a year before the financial crisis and 171 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 homes rent for around DE22 3
For renting purposes DE22 3 sits in Derby. The ONS average private rent there is £852 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £602 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,291, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £145,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 7.1%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: DE prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the DE area. 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.
