DL15 9 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside DL15 (Crook). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical DL15 9 home went from £32,000 in 1995 to £121,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 74%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2006, and today's median remains roughly 38% under it: a 2006 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DL15 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 2004 (+42.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−25.9%). 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) | −5.5% | −7.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.5% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.3% | −2.4% |
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.
How many homes change hands in DL15 9
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, 47 sales completed in DL15 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 214 sales a year before the financial crisis and 105 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.
The shape of the DL15 9 market
Only 47 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DL15 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.
The rental side of DL15 9
DL15 9 falls under County Durham, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
£638 a month is £7,656 a year, which against the £121,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.3%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

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. 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%) |

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.
