DL17 0 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside DL17 (Ferryhill). 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 DL17 0 home went from £25,500 in 1995 to £115,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 107%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2013, and today's median remains roughly 33% under it: a 2013 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DL17 0 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 2002 (+86.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−36.5%). 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) | −11.9% | −13.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.2% | −4.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.5% | +1.6% |
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.
Sales activity in DL17 0
How many homes change hands
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, 33 sales completed in DL17 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 191 sales a year before the financial crisis and 81 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 rental side of DL17 0
The local authority for DL17 0 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 £115,000 median sold price, £638 a month is £7,656 a year, a gross yield of 6.7%: 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.
How DL17 0 trades
Only 33 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DL17 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within DL17, this sector trades 10% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Bedroom by bedroom: DL prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DL area, 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%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
