In cash terms the typical DL14 home went from £41,000 in 1995 to £126,000 in 2026, roughly 3.1 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 41%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 25% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DL14 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 (+27.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−9.5%). 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) | +0.8% | −1.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.2% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 48% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £235,000 against £80,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

How many homes change hands in DL14
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 462 sales completed in DL14. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 893 sales a year before the financial crisis and 551 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market DL14 is
In its area's price order DL14 comes 14 of 17, towards the cheaper end of the table.
The rental side of DL14
For renting purposes DL14 sits in County Durham. The ONS average private rent there is £638 a month (May 2026). 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 £126,000 median purchase price, a rent of £638 a month (£7,656 a year) works out at a 6.1% 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
Real sold prices by size across the DL area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £205,000 | £282,250 (+38%) | £444,995 (+58%) | £625,000 (+40%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
