In cash terms the typical DL3 8 home went from £101,500 in 1995 to £290,000 in 2026, roughly 2.9 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 31%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2005; the current median sits about 28% below that. Someone who bought at the 2005 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DL3 8 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 (+28.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−17.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.3% | −10.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.3% |
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 DL3 8
How many homes change hands
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 8 recorded 47 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 148 sales a year before the financial crisis and 106 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around DL3 8
For renting purposes DL3 8 sits in Darlington. The ONS average private rent there is £676 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £487 a month here against £1,074 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Darlington
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £290,000 median sold price, £676 a month is £8,112 a year, a gross yield of 2.8%: 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 DL3 8 trades
This is a thin market: 47 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. Against the DL3 district median, DL3 8 sits 68% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

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. 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.
