In cash terms the typical DL14 6 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £145,000 in 2026, roughly 3.3 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 52%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2005; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2005 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DL14 6 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 (+46.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−17.4%). 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) | +14.9% | +12.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.5% | +2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.6% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
DL14 6 recorded 63 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 213 sales a year before the financial crisis and 130 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.
The shape of the DL14 6 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 DL14 district median, DL14 6 sits 15% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around DL14 6
DL14 6 falls under County Durham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £638 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Against the £145,000 median purchase price, a rent of £638 a month (£7,656 a year) works out at a 5.3% 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 DL
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the DL 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.

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.
