Easington market report SR8 4, Peterlee
The SR8 4 (Easington) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 4,080 sales registered with HM Land Registry in SR8 4 (Peterlee) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: 40 registered 2026 sales put the SR8 4 (Peterlee) median at £85,000, up 63% on five years earlier, with a mean of £89,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £860 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,080 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
SR8 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SR8 (Peterlee). 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 SR8 4 home went from £22,500 in 1995 to £85,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 74%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 32% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SR8 4 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 2017 (+64.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−41.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +47.8% | +44.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +10.3% | +5.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +13.0% | +9.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.0% | −1.7% |
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
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 register shows 40 SR8 4 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 183 sales a year before the financial crisis and 119 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.
The shape of the SR8 4 market
Only 40 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SR8 4 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. Within SR8, this sector trades 9% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What tenants pay around SR8 4
The local authority for SR8 4 is County Durham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £638 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £447 a month for a typical one-bed to £982 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, County Durham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£638 a month is £7,656 a year, which against the £85,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 9.0%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

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