Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical DE22 4 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £232,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 181%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

Year-on-year change in the DE22 4 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 2015 (+38.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−13.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

The long view: annualised growth

The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.

The register shows 60 DE22 4 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 108 sales a year recently, against 101 a year before 2008. 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 DE22 4

For renting purposes DE22 4 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.

Against the £232,000 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in DE

What homes of each size actually sold for across the DE area, 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.

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
