In cash terms the typical S18 1 home went from £54,000 in 1995 to £295,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 151%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the S18 1 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 2003 (+25.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−5.9%). 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) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
How many homes change hands in S18 1
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.
S18 1 recorded 31 sales in the last 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 92 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.
Reading the S18 1 market
This is a thin market: 31 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.
What homes rent for around S18 1
For renting purposes S18 1 sits in North East Derbyshire. The ONS average private rent there is £774 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £556 a month here against £1,184 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, North East Derbyshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£774 a month is £9,288 a year, which against the £295,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.1%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in S: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the S 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 | — | £235,000 | £330,000 (+40%) | £495,000 (+50%) | £750,000 (+52%) |
| Semi-detached | £160,000 | £175,000 (+9%) | £220,000 (+26%) | £321,000 (+46%) | £550,000 (+71%) |
| Terraced | £132,000 | £140,000 (+6%) | £175,000 (+25%) | £256,500 (+47%) | £350,000 (+36%) |
| Flat | £120,000 | £148,000 (+23%) | £265,000 (+79%) | £461,750 (+74%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
