In cash terms the typical DH1 4 home went from £80,500 in 1995 to £420,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 140%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DH1 4 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 2002 (+46.6% on the year before); the weakest, 1997 (−12.8%). 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) | +14.3% | +11.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.3% | +0.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
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.
The register shows 29 DH1 4 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 156 sales a year before the financial crisis and 65 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.
Rents around DH1 4
For renting purposes DH1 4 sits in County Durham. The ONS average private rent there is £638 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £447 a month here against £982 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, County Durham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £420,000 median sold price, £638 a month is £7,656 a year, a gross yield of 1.8%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How DH1 4 trades
This is a thin market: 29 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within DH1, this sector trades 79% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Moving up a bedroom in DH: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the DH 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 | — | £194,950 | £270,000 (+38%) | £415,000 (+54%) | £550,000 (+33%) |

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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
