In cash terms the typical DE55 7 home went from £31,000 in 1995 to £181,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 169%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DE55 7 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 (+36.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2000 (−22.2%). 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) | −9.3% | −11.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.4% | −5.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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 DE55 7
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 60 sales completed in DE55 7. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 155 sales a year recently, against 176 a year before 2008. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.

Bedroom by bedroom: DE prices by size
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £255,000 | £348,918 (+37%) | £540,000 (+55%) | £710,000 (+31%) |
