In cash terms the typical DE4 5 home went from £70,000 in 1995 to £292,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 92%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 40% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DE4 5 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 2017 (+34.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−25.0%). 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) | −25.0% | −26.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.5% | −8.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.7% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 34 DE4 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 98 sales a year recently, against 108 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.
What tenants pay around DE4 5
The local authority for DE4 5 is Amber Valley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £789 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £576 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,266, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Amber Valley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £292,500 median purchase price, a rent of £789 a month (£9,468 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 5 trades
This is a thin market: 34 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.

Moving up a bedroom in DE: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the DE area. 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.
