DL4 2 is one sector of DL4 (Shildon): 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.

In cash terms the typical DL4 2 home went from £25,000 in 1995 to £92,200 in 2026, roughly 3.7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 70%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2018. The market now sits about 46% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DL4 2 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 2018 (+102.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−32.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DL4 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +15.3% | +12.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +8.2% | +3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.5% | −2.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.2% | −1.6% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 44 sales completed in DL4 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 126 sales a year before the financial crisis and 77 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.
Rents around DL4 2
DL4 2 falls under County Durham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £638 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £447 a month for a typical one-bed to £982 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, County Durham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £92,200 median purchase price, a rent of £638 a month (£7,656 a year) works out at a 8.3% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
The shape of the DL4 2 market
This is a thin market: 44 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. Within DL4, this sector trades 8% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

The price of an extra bedroom in DL
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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
