Faverdale market report DL3 7, Darlington
The DL3 7 (Faverdale) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 2,920 sales registered with HM Land Registry in DL3 7 (Darlington) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 25 registered 2026 sales put the DL3 7 (Darlington) median at £165,000, down 17% on five years earlier, with a mean of £227,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,950 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 2,920 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
DL3 7 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside DL3 (Darlington). 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 DL3 7 home went from £65,000 in 1995 to £165,000 in 2026, roughly 2.5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 17%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 51% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DL3 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 2004 (+40.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−33.9%). 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) | −17.1% | −19.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.7% | −8.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −2.1% | −5.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | −0.8% | −3.5% |
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 DL3 7
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 25 DL3 7 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 133 sales a year before the financial crisis and 66 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 7
DL3 7 falls under Darlington, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £676 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £165,000 median sold price, £676 a month is £8,112 a year, a gross yield of 4.9%: 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.
Reading the DL3 7 market
Only 25 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DL3 7 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.

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.
| 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
