How London Road, Buxton prices moved

Median of the yearly medians in each decade.

The highest yearly median on record for London Road, Buxton is £157,475 in 2021; the lowest is £43,000 in 1997. Across the full 27-year record the cash median has moved from £43,000 to £155,000.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £91,173, so the real change over the whole record is +83.7% — about +2.37% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.

Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +20.2% in cash against -13.1% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to London Road, Buxton values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here

The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. London Road, Buxton is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

Section 06

Ownership and new build in London Road, Buxton

48 of the sales on record are leasehold and 100 freehold — 32.4% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.

The median leasehold sale is £88,750 and the median freehold sale £120,000 — a gap of +35.2%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.

CategorySalesShareMedian paid
Leasehold4832.4%£88,750

New build53.4%£115,000
Existing home14396.6%£105,000
Shares are of the sales used on this page.

New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +9.5%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.

A further 29 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Derbyshire Dales, 34.6% of 35,917 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 10.3% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Derbyshire Dales at £807 a month as of Jun 2026 — £585 for a one-bedroom home and £896 for three bedrooms.

Against the median sale of £106,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 9.09% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.

Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of SK17, 26 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 8 violent, 0 burglary, 1 vehicle-related and 5 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 6.4 times quieter.

Against the 71,540 residents the 2021 census counted in Derbyshire Dales, that is 0.36 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.

A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Section 08

The neighbourhood around London Road, Buxton

The 2021 census counted 71,540 residents in Derbyshire Dales across 32,283 households. 72.9% of those households own their home and 27.0% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

23 state and independent schools have a SK17 postcode: 20 primary, 2 secondary, 1 nursery. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How London Road, Buxton compares

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. London Road, Buxton sits below that national figure — -32.4%.

Within Buxton the street ranks 360 of 439 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £145,000 (-26.6%).

Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,598 per square metre, across 58 of the 148 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

The full range on record runs from £23,000 to £500,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

London Road, Buxton sits in Derbyshire Dales, in the West Midlands.

The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Derbyshire Dales at 8.9 times median local earnings of £35,253 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Common questions about this data

What is the average house price in London Road, Buxton?

When were London Road, Buxton house prices at their highest?

The highest yearly median on record is £157,475, set in 2021. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
