How Chestnut Avenue, Derby prices moved
The chart tracks the median Chestnut Avenue, Derby house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2024. 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 | 3 | £72,820 | £161,695 |
| 2000s | 6 | £90,750 | £165,320 |
| 2010s | 5 | £185,000 | £260,850 |
| 2020s | 5 | £268,750 | £274,592 |
The highest yearly median on record for Chestnut Avenue, Derby is £323,000 in 2024; the lowest is £67,750 in 1998. Across the full 28-year record the cash median has moved from £72,820 to £323,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £154,400, so the real change over the whole record is +120.1% — about +2.97% 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: +94.6% in cash against +42.7% 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.

Homes that sold twice
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 Chestnut Avenue, Derby 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. Chestnut Avenue, Derby 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 | 86 | 48.0% | £145,000 | £11,500 – £422,500 |
| Detached | 73 | 40.8% | £216,500 | £68,500 – £650,000 |
| Terraced | 20 | 11.2% | £60,000 | £20,000 – £143,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Chestnut Avenue, Derby
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 179 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 | 179 | 100.0% | £162,000 |
| New build | 1 | 0.6% | £350,000 |
| Existing home | 178 | 99.4% | £161,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +117.4%. 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 6 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.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Derby at £855 a month as of Jun 2026 — £604 for a one-bedroom home and £930 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £162,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.33% 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 DE3, 91 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 37 violent, 5 burglary, 2 vehicle-related and 15 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.8 times quieter.
Against the 261,364 residents the 2021 census counted in Derby, that is 0.35 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.

Chestnut Avenue, Derby sits in Derby, in the East Midlands.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Derby at 5.3 times median local earnings of £41,924 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6.

Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Chestnut Avenue, Derby?

When were Chestnut Avenue, Derby house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £323,000, set in 2024. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.

How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 19 May 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.
