| 1996 | £36,700 | £77,399 | 96 |
| 1995 | £31,000 | £67,389 | 84 |
In cash terms the typical DL14 9 home went from £31,000 in 1995 to £110,000 in 2026, roughly 3.5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 63%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2008. The market now sits about 41% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DL14 9 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 2001 (+42.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−17.6%). 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) | +1.9% | −0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.6% | +1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.0% | −1.8% |
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.
How many homes change hands in DL14 9
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 43 DL14 9 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 193 sales a year before the financial crisis and 117 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.
What kind of market DL14 9 is
Only 43 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DL14 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Within DL14, this sector trades 13% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around DL14 9
The local authority for DL14 9 is County Durham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £638 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £447 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £982, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, County Durham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £110,000 median sold price, £638 a month is £7,656 a year, a gross yield of 7.0%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in DL: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DL area, 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £205,000 | £282,250 (+38%) | £444,995 (+58%) | £625,000 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £147,250 | £147,000 (0%) | £185,000 (+26%) | £282,000 (+52%) | £380,000 (+35%) |

| Flat | £85,000 | £118,000 (+39%) | £205,000 (+74%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
