In cash terms the typical DE7 home went from £39,300 in 1995 to £202,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 136%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 9% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DE7 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 (+31.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−10.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.6% | +1.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.9% | −1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 39% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £295,000 against £95,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

Sales activity in DE7
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.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
DE7 recorded 596 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,088 sales a year before the financial crisis and 632 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.
The rental side of DE7
The local authority for DE7 is Erewash, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £834 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £202,000 median purchase price, a rent of £834 a month (£10,008 a year) works out at a 5.0% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in DE
Real sold prices by size across the DE area, straight 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.
| 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%) |

| Flat | £110,000 | £145,000 (+32%) | £235,000 (+62%) | — | — |
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.
