In cash terms the typical S21 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 135%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 7% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the S21 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 (+38.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−9.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 38% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £306,200 against £120,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

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.
How many homes change hands in S21
Sales per year, counted
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
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 209 sales completed in S21. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 394 sales a year before the financial crisis and 222 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 homes rent for around S21
The local authority for S21 is North East Derbyshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £774 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £220,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. 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. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £235,000 | £330,000 (+40%) | £495,000 (+50%) | £750,000 (+52%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
