Sunny Hill market report DE23, Derby
The standing DE23 (Sunny Hill) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 26,215 registered sales in DE23 (Derby) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to August 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: 239 registered 2026 sales put the DE23 (Derby) median at £220,000, up 10% on five years earlier, with a mean of £241,300, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,450 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 26,215 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
DE23 is the postcode district covering Sunny Hill, Heatherton Village, Littleover in Derby. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

In cash terms the typical DE23 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 153%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 14% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DE23 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 (+39.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−7.1%). 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 year (since 2025) | +2.3% | −0.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.5% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £340,000 against £142,500 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

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 monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 420 DE23 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 1,201 sales a year before the financial crisis and 475 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 DE23
DE23 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 £220,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.6%. 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.

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 10% over five years in cash but down 13% after inflation.

What is for sale in DE23 right now
Everything above is what homes in DE23 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 13 homes on the market right now, from 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 14% above the DE23 median sold price.
Set against 420 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 13 homes on the market here are roughly 2 weeks of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted. Supply that short favours the seller; a sensibly priced home here does not sit for long.
15% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

When homes in DE23 change hands
March is when DE23 changes hands most (11.6% of the 2,892 sales dated 2021 to 2025); January is the quiet end at 6.7%. That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.

Bedroom by bedroom: DE prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the DE area, straight 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £220,000 | £247,500 (+13%) | £300,000 (+21%) | £385,000 (+28%) | £504,997 (+31%) |
| Semi-detached | £174,000 | £195,000 (+12%) | £220,000 (+13%) | £275,000 (+25%) | £350,000 (+27%) |
| Terraced | £147,750 | £160,000 (+8%) | £170,000 (+6%) | £232,750 (+37%) | £298,000 (+28%) |
| Flat | £109,950 | £140,000 (+27%) | £235,000 (+68%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
