In cash terms the typical DL16 7 home went from £33,000 in 1995 to £138,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 92%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2011, and today's median remains roughly 38% under it: a 2011 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DL16 7 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 2007 (+42.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2002 (−34.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −11.0% | −13.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.3% | −4.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.1% | −3.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.4% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 67 sales completed in DL16 7. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 176 sales a year recently, against 201 a year before 2008. 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 rental side of DL16 7
The local authority for DL16 7 is County Durham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
£638 a month is £7,656 a year, which against the £138,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.5%. 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. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

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.
