In cash terms the typical DL3 6 home went from £31,000 in 1995 to £104,500 in 2026, roughly 3.4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 55%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 31% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DL3 6 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 2003 (+45.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−14.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DL3 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.0% | −7.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.2% | −1.6% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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.
DL3 6 recorded 48 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 354 sales a year before the financial crisis and 108 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.
Rents around DL3 6
For renting purposes DL3 6 sits in Darlington. The ONS average private rent there is £676 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £487 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,074, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Darlington
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£676 a month is £8,112 a year, which against the £104,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 7.8%. 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.
How DL3 6 trades
This is a thin market: 48 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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. Against the DL3 district median, DL3 6 sits 40% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: DL prices by size
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.
