Faverdale market report DL3 9, Darlington

The DL3 9 (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: 4,909 sales registered with HM Land Registry in DL3 9 (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: a typical DL3 9 (Darlington) home changed hands for £185,000 in 2026 (median of 52 registered sales, up 2% on five years earlier), with the mean at £200,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,090 per square metre over the last five years. Source: 4,909 completed sales on the HM Land Registry record since 1995, updated with each monthly release. No valuations, no asking prices.

DL3 9 is one sector of DL3 (Darlington): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

What a home in DL3 9 sells for

The 2026 median for DL3 9 is £185,000, taken from 52 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £200,800, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.

DL3 9 prices by floor area

Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in DL3 9 costs about £2,090 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.

Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, DL3 9 sits 35% below the national market.

In cash terms the typical DL3 9 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £185,000 in 2026, roughly 3.6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 64%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 29% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+37.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−15.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

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 9

Over the last twelve months of data, 52 sales completed in DL3 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 197 sales a year before the financial crisis and 118 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 9

DL3 9 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.

£676 a month is £8,112 a year, which against the £185,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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.

The shape of the DL3 9 market

This is a thin market: 52 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.

What people ask about DL3 9 (Faverdale)

Where do DL3 9 prices go next?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
