In cash terms the typical DE7 8 home went from £32,000 in 1995 to £170,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 144%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2025. The market now sits about 4% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DE7 8 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 2004 (+38.3% on the year before); the weakest, 1997 (−8.5%). 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) | −1.7% | −4.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.5% | +0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.0% | +2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
Sales activity in DE7 8
Sales per year, counted
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 DE7 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 275 sales a year before the financial crisis and 151 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.
Reading the DE7 8 market
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 DE7 district median, DE7 8 sits 16% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around DE7 8
For renting purposes DE7 8 sits in Erewash. The ONS average private rent there is £834 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £601 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,314 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Erewash
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £170,000 median purchase price, a rent of £834 a month (£10,008 a year) works out at a 5.9% 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.

These cover the whole DE7 district, not just DE7 8: live asking prices are collected per district.
23% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in DE
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.

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

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
