S45 9 prices by floor area

In cash terms the typical S45 9 home went from £32,000 in 1995 to £180,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 159%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 36% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the S45 9 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 (+32.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−21.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What S45 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −13.9% | −15.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.1% | −7.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.8% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in S45 9
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 39 S45 9 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 146 sales a year recently, against 157 a year before 2008. 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.
Rents around S45 9
S45 9 falls under North East Derbyshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £180,000 median sold price, £774 a month is £9,288 a year, a gross yield of 5.2%: 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 S45 9 market
This is a thin market: 39 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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. Within S45, this sector trades 13% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

What another bedroom costs in S
What homes of each size actually sold for across the S area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
