In cash terms the typical DE4 4 home went from £53,000 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 160%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2005. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DE4 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 2002 (+49.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−21.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.4% | +1.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.9% | −1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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.
Sales activity in DE4 4
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 44 sales completed in DE4 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 131 sales a year before the financial crisis and 90 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 DE4 4
DE4 4 falls under Derbyshire Dales, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £805 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £583 a month here against £1,331 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Derbyshire Dales
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £300,000 median purchase price, a rent of £805 a month (£9,660 a year) works out at a 3.2% 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.
How DE4 4 trades
Only 44 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DE4 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.

Moving up a bedroom in DE: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the DE area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
