In cash terms the typical DH1 5 home went from £48,000 in 1995 to £195,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 87%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2005, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2005 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DH1 5 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 (+39.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2015 (−5.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.3% | −4.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.2% | −4.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.2% |
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
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 81 sales completed in DH1 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 294 sales a year before the financial crisis and 196 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 DH1 5
DH1 5 falls under County Durham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £638 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £447 a month for a typical one-bed to £982 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, County Durham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £195,000 median purchase price, a rent of £638 a month (£7,656 a year) works out at a 3.9% 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.

What another bedroom costs in DH
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the DH 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.
