How Trinity Park, Houghton le Spring prices moved
The chart tracks the median Trinity Park, Houghton le Spring house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1999 to 2021. 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 | 1 | £87,950 | £195,291 |
| 2000s | 6 | £114,000 | £207,674 |
| 2020s | 1 | £270,000 | £275,870 |
The highest yearly median on record for Trinity Park, Houghton le Spring is £270,000 in 2021; the lowest is £87,350 in 2000. Across the full 23-year record the cash median has moved from £87,950 to £270,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £179,204, so the real change over the whole record is +90.4% — 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: +42.1% in cash against +3.3% 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 Trinity Park, Houghton le Spring values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Trinity Park, Houghton le Spring 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 | 136 | 85.0% | £125,750 | £64,950 – £381,000 |
| Semi-detached | 24 | 15.0% | £115,000 | £64,950 – £164,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Trinity Park, Houghton le Spring
83 of the sales on record are leasehold and 77 freehold — 51.9% 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 £120,000 and the median freehold sale £145,000 — a gap of +20.8%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 83 | 51.9% | £120,000 |
| Freehold | 77 | 48.1% | £145,000 |
| New build | 72 | 45.0% | £87,950 |
| Existing home | 88 | 55.0% | £177,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -50.5%. 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 5 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 £125,750 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.12% 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 DH4, 103 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 33 violent, 3 burglary, 2 vehicle-related and 16 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.6 times quieter.
Against the 522,068 residents the 2021 census counted in County Durham, that is 0.20 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.

The neighbourhood around Trinity Park, Houghton le Spring
The 2021 census counted 522,068 residents in County Durham across 234,764 households. 62.8% of those households own their home and 37.1% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

Trinity Park, Houghton le Spring 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Trinity Park, Houghton le Spring?

How many homes have sold in Trinity Park, Houghton le Spring?

When were Trinity Park, Houghton le Spring house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £270,000, 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.

£1,341 per square metre, from the 27 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.

The latest sale shown here completed on 5 Dec 2025. 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.
