| 1995 | £57,000 | £123,909 | 322 |
In cash terms the typical DE72 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £276,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 123%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DE72 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 (+40.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−9.9%). 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, 44% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £372,000 against £133,800 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

| Terraced | £191,000 | 26 | 1,821 |

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +0.4% | −1.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.7% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.8% |
| 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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 261 DE72 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 439 sales a year before the financial crisis and 280 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 DE72 market
Among the 23 measurable districts of its area, DE72 ranks 6 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
The rental side of DE72
For renting purposes DE72 sits in Erewash. The ONS average private rent there is £834 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £601 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,314, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Erewash
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £276,200 median purchase price, a rent of £834 a month (£10,008 a year) works out at a 3.6% 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.

Is DE72 (Ambaston) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in DE72 (Ambaston)?
Are property prices falling in DE72 (Ambaston)?
Are DE72 prices heading up or down?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 9% over five years in cash but down 14% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
What is for sale in DE72 right now
Everything above is what homes in DE72 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 120 homes currently on the market from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 16% above the DE72 median sold price.
Set against 261 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 120 homes on the market here are roughly 6 months of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted.

- Rutland Avenue, Borrowash, Derbyshire
- Ambaston Lane, Shardlow, Derby
- Cowslip Meadow, Draycott, DE72, Draycott

DE72: the homes on offer and the homes that go
In DE72, terraced homes made up 15% of recent sales yet only 0% of today's listings. Demand outrunning supply for a type is the clearest sign a fairly priced one will go quickly.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 48% | 37% |
| Semi-detached | 34% | 36% |
| Terraced | 0% | 15% |
| Flats | 18% | 11% |
Listings are the homes agents publish to HomesIndex today; sales are HM Land Registry registrations. A listing whose type does not say detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat (a plain "house", a bungalow, a park home) is left out of the listing shares.
When homes in DE72 change hands
Across the 1,665 sales completed in DE72 from 2021 to 2025, March was the busiest month for completions (10.5% of the total) and April the quietest (6.2%). The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025

|---|---|---|
| January | 125 | 7.5% |
| February | 143 | 8.6% |

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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £220,000 | £247,500 (+13%) | £300,000 (+21%) | £385,000 (+28%) | £504,997 (+31%) |
| Semi-detached | £174,000 | £195,000 (+12%) | £220,000 (+13%) | £275,000 (+25%) | £350,000 (+27%) |
| Terraced | £147,750 | £160,000 (+8%) | £170,000 (+6%) | £232,750 (+37%) | £298,000 (+28%) |
