In cash terms the typical DE55 3 home went from £47,000 in 1995 to £210,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 106%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DE55 3 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 (+71.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−15.9%). 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) | −3.9% | −6.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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.
DE55 3 recorded 21 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 134 sales a year before the financial crisis and 52 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.
What tenants pay around DE55 3
The local authority for DE55 3 is Bolsover, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £704 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £496 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,124 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Bolsover
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £210,000 median sold price, £704 a month is £8,448 a year, a gross yield of 4.0%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How DE55 3 trades
Only 21 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DE55 3 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 3 sits 14% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

20% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

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%) |
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
