In cash terms the typical DE56 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £247,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 127%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DE56 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 (+28.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−7.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 39% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £380,000 against £152,500 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

What DE56 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.7% | −9.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.2% | −4.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 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.
How many homes change hands in DE56
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 last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
DE56 recorded 534 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 956 sales a year before the financial crisis and 579 a year over the last five. 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.
What tenants pay around DE56
The local authority for DE56 is Amber Valley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £789 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £576 a month here against £1,266 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Amber Valley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£789 a month is £9,468 a year, which against the £247,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

The price of an extra bedroom in DE
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DE area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
