In cash terms the typical S43 home went from £39,000 in 1995 to £185,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 118%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the S43 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 (+30.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−10.3%). 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, 44% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £307,000 against £103,500 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

What S43 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.6% | −4.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.5% |

| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
S43 recorded 480 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 811 sales a year before the financial crisis and 533 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.
What homes rent for around S43
S43 falls under Chesterfield, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £738 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £527 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,141 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Chesterfield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £185,000 median purchase price, a rent of £738 a month (£8,856 a year) works out at a 4.8% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: S prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the S 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.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
