S45 8 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside S45 (Chesterfield). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical S45 8 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £207,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 173%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 8% 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 S45 8 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 2020 (+26.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−9.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +7.5% | +5.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.2% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.3% | +1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 20 sales completed in S45 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 84 sales a year before the financial crisis and 57 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.
The rental side of S45 8
The local authority for S45 8 is North East Derbyshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £774 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £556 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,184, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, North East Derbyshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £207,500 median sold price, £774 a month is £9,288 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: 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.
How S45 8 trades
Only 20 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes S45 8 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in S
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
