In cash terms the typical DE55 5 home went from £34,000 in 1995 to £200,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 171%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2018. The market now sits about 7% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DE55 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 2003 (+46.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−15.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +12.0% | +9.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.6% | +0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
Sales activity in DE55 5
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 41 DE55 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 175 sales a year before the financial crisis and 110 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.
The shape of the DE55 5 market
Only 41 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DE55 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the DE55 district median, DE55 5 sits 8% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of DE55 5
For renting purposes DE55 5 sits in Bolsover. The ONS average private rent there is £704 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £200,000 median purchase price, a rent of £704 a month (£8,448 a year) works out at a 4.2% 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.

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.
