In cash terms the typical DE55 1 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £222,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 127%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2023, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2023 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DE55 1 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 2003 (+40.0% on the year before); the weakest, 1998 (−14.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.0% | −8.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.9% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
DE55 1 recorded 53 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 160 sales a year before the financial crisis and 116 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 tenants pay around DE55 1
For renting purposes DE55 1 sits in Amber Valley. The ONS average private rent there is £789 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £576 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,266 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Amber Valley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £222,000 median purchase price, a rent of £789 a month (£9,468 a year) works out at a 4.3% 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 kind of market DE55 1 is
This is a thin market: 53 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 DE55, this sector trades 20% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

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. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £255,000 | £348,918 (+37%) | £540,000 (+55%) | £710,000 (+31%) |
| Semi-detached | £177,000 | £205,000 (+16%) | £247,000 (+20%) | £318,950 (+29%) | £452,500 (+42%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
