How Davison Road, Darlington prices moved
The chart tracks the median Davison Road, Darlington house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2025. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 4 | £41,250 | £91,594 |
| 2000s | 6 | £52,700 | £96,004 |
| 2010s | 2 | £85,000 | £119,850 |
| 2020s | 5 | £117,975 | £120,540 |
The highest yearly median on record for Davison Road, Darlington is £145,000 in 2025; the lowest is £35,500 in 1995. Across the full 31-year record the cash median has moved from £35,500 to £145,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £78,827, so the real change over the whole record is +87.9% — about +2.13% 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: +70.6% in cash against +21.5% 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.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Davison Road, Darlington is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 158 | 92.4% | £93,000 | £23,500 – £168,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Davison Road, Darlington
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 171 freehold — 0.0% 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.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 171 | 100.0% | £94,500 |
A further 7 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 County Durham, 45.4% of 308,749 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.5% 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 County Durham at £641 a month as of Jun 2026 — £450 for a one-bedroom home and £683 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £94,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.14% 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 DL1, 716 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 207 violent, 22 burglary, 20 vehicle-related and 164 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 4.3 times busier.
Against the 522,068 residents the 2021 census counted in County Durham, that is 1.37 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.

How Davison Road, Darlington compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Davison Road, Darlington sits below that national figure — -40.0%.
Within Darlington the street ranks 881 of 1380 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £101,500 (-6.9%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,446 per square metre, across 43 of the 171 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Davison Road, Darlington sits in County Durham, in the North East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in County Durham at 4.3 times median local earnings of £32,945 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Davison Road, Darlington?
The median price paid in Davison Road, Darlington across every sale on the register is £94,500. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Davison Road, Darlington?

In cash, the median rose +70.6% between 2014 and 2025. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +21.5%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Davison Road, Darlington house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £145,000, set in 2025. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Davison Road, Darlington?
£1,446 per square metre, from the 43 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 1 Jun 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
