A postcode sector like DE23 3 is a single group of streets within DE23 (Derby), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

What a home in DE23 3 sells for

Across 47 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) DE23 3 home went for £300,000. The mean is £330,400, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.

House prices per square metre in DE23 3

The last five years of sales put DE23 3 at roughly £3,090 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so DE23 3 trades 5% above the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical DE23 3 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 84%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2016; the current median sits about 22% below that. Someone who bought at the 2016 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 1998 (+26.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−21.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

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.

Sales activity in DE23 3

DE23 3 recorded 47 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 191 sales a year before the financial crisis and 91 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.

What tenants pay around DE23 3

DE23 3 falls under Derby, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £852 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £602 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,291 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

Set against the £300,000 median sold price, £852 a month is £10,224 a year, a gross yield of 3.4%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

What kind of market DE23 3 is

This is a thin market: 47 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within DE23, this sector trades 38% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
