How Mear Drive, Derby prices moved
The chart tracks the median Mear Drive, Derby house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2015. 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 | £76,950 | £170,865 |
| 2000s | 3 | £118,495 | £215,863 |
| 2010s | 1 | £191,000 | £269,310 |
The highest yearly median on record for Mear Drive, Derby is £191,000 in 2015; the lowest is £76,500 in 1997. Across the full 21-year record the cash median has moved from £83,325 to £191,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £185,021, so the real change over the whole record is +45.6% — about +1.89% 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: +61.2% in cash against +15.9% 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.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Mear Drive, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 151 | 87.8% | £104,950 | £67,250 – £412,500 |
| Terraced | 14 | 8.1% | £120,000 | £47,950 – £192,500 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Mear Drive, Derby
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 172 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 | 172 | 100.0% | £109,950 |
| New build | 75 | 43.6% | £79,950 |
| Existing home | 97 | 56.4% | £182,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -56.1%. 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.

Living in Mear Drive, Derby
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Derby, 39.9% of 128,436 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 4.4% 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 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 £109,950 here, that rent is a gross yield of 9.33% 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 DE72, 12 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 5 violent, 1 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 3 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 13.9 times quieter.
Against the 261,364 residents the 2021 census counted in Derby, that is 0.05 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Mear Drive, Derby?
The median price paid in Mear Drive, Derby across every sale on the register is £109,950. 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 Mear Drive, Derby?
172 sales are on record for Mear Drive, Derby, the most recent completing on 24 Feb 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Mear Drive, Derby house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +61.2% between 2001 and 2015. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +15.9%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Mear Drive, Derby house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £191,000, set in 2015. 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 Mear Drive, Derby?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 24 Feb 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.
