Swanwick market report DE55 2, Alfreton
The standing DE55 2 (Swanwick) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 4,330 sales registered with HM Land Registry in DE55 2 (Alfreton) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 31 registered 2026 sales put the DE55 2 (Alfreton) median at £170,000, up 5% on five years earlier, with a mean of £195,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,210 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,330 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
DE55 2 is one sector of DE55 (Alfreton): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

House prices per square metre in DE55 2

The price of a typical DE55 2 home, 1995 to 2026
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical DE55 2 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £170,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 96%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 17% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DE55 2 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 (+39.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−11.9%). 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) | −11.9% | −14.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 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.
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.
DE55 2 recorded 31 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 189 sales a year before the financial crisis and 103 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 DE55 2
For renting purposes DE55 2 sits in Bolsover. The ONS average private rent there is £704 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £496 a month here against £1,124 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Bolsover
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £170,000 median purchase price, a rent of £704 a month (£8,448 a year) works out at a 5.0% 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 2 is
Only 31 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DE55 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the DE55 district median, DE55 2 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: DE prices by size
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.
| 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.
