In cash terms the typical S44 6 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £180,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 107%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2024; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2024 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the S44 6 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 (+52.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−17.9%). 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) | −5.7% | −7.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.5% | +2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
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.
The register shows 82 S44 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 280 sales a year recently, against 275 a year before 2008. 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 kind of market S44 6 is
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.
The rental side of S44 6
S44 6 falls under Bolsover, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £704 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £496 a month here against £1,124 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Bolsover
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £180,000 median sold price, £704 a month is £8,448 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: 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.

Real searches this page gets asked
A lot of searches that reach this page are full postcodes, S44 6XX among them. A full postcode is a street segment of a dozen or so homes, below even sector level; the medians on this page are the context, and the live map shows every recorded sale at those exact addresses.
Search phrases quoted verbatim from Google Search Console for this site (last 16 months); each is answered from the page's own Land Registry figures.
Where do S44 6 prices go next?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 9% over five years in cash but down 14% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Moving up a bedroom in S: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the S area. 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.
