| 1996 | £83,000 | £175,043 | 132 |
| 1995 | £88,700 | £192,820 | 92 |
In cash terms the typical DY14 home went from £88,700 in 1995 to £362,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 88%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DY14 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 1998 (+43.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−29.5%). 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 year (since 2025) | +12.7% | +10.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +3.2% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 60% of the typed total. In 2019, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £330,000 against £89,800 for a flat, 3.7 times the price.

How many homes change hands in DY14
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
DY14 recorded 76 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 120 sales a year before the financial crisis and 73 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
How DY14 trades
Only 76 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DY14 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. This is detached-house territory: 51% of last year's sales were detached, which props the overall median well above the flat and terrace market underneath it. 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. DY14 sits 2 of 14 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
Rents around DY14
DY14 falls under Shropshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £813 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £600 a month here against £1,384 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Shropshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £362,500 median sold price, £813 a month is £9,756 a year, a gross yield of 2.7%: 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.

When homes in DY14 change hands
Across the 475 sales completed in DY14 from 2021 to 2025, June was the busiest month for completions (10.7% of the total) and February the quietest (5.7%). The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.

The price of an extra bedroom in DY
Real sold prices by size across the DY area, straight 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 | £248,000 | £270,000 (+9%) | £328,847 (+22%) | £428,997 (+30%) | £610,000 (+42%) |

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.
