In cash terms the typical S32 home went from £83,000 in 1995 to £490,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 172%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2014, and today's median remains roughly 5% under it: a 2014 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the S32 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 (+33.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2015 (−17.8%). 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 43% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £595,000 against £410,000 for a flat, a 45% premium.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +13.7% | +11.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.4% | −0.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.3% |
| 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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
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.
S32 recorded 66 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 109 sales a year before the financial crisis and 67 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.
What homes rent for around S32
The local authority for S32 is Derbyshire Dales, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £805 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £583 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,331, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Derbyshire Dales
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £490,000 median sold price, £805 a month is £9,660 a year, a gross yield of 2.0%: 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.
The shape of the S32 market
Only 66 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes S32 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. S32 is currently the dearest district of its postcode area by median price.

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%) |
