| 1996 | £68,500 | £144,463 | 158 |
| 1995 | £77,800 | £169,125 | 106 |
In cash terms the typical DE45 home went from £77,800 in 1995 to £382,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 126%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 24% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DE45 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 2000 (+26.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−18.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 40% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £515,000 against £230,200 for a flat, 2.2 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.7% | −0.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −1.0% |
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 DE45
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 89 sales completed in DE45. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 157 sales a year before the financial crisis and 103 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The shape of the DE45 market
Only 89 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DE45 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. By median price, DE45 presently tops its postcode area.
What tenants pay around DE45
For renting purposes DE45 sits in Derbyshire Dales. The ONS average private rent there is £805 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £583 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,331 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Derbyshire Dales
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £382,500 median purchase price, a rent of £805 a month (£9,660 a year) works out at a 2.5% 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.

What another bedroom costs in DE
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 | — | £255,000 | £348,918 (+37%) | £540,000 (+55%) | £710,000 (+31%) |

| Flat | £110,000 | £145,000 (+32%) | £235,000 (+62%) | — | — |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
