Section 01
How Nelson Street, Ilkeston prices moved
The chart tracks the median Nelson Street, Ilkeston house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2007. 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 | £26,000 | £57,732 |
| 2000s | 5 | £76,000 | £138,450 |
The highest yearly median on record for Nelson Street, Ilkeston is £82,000 in 2007; the lowest is £22,500 in 2000. Across the full 12-year record the cash median has moved from £26,000 to £82,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £56,400, so the real change over the whole record is +152.8% — about +8.80% 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: +143.0% in cash against +99.2% 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 Nelson Street, Ilkeston 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. Nelson Street, Ilkeston 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 57 | 52.8% | £69,000 | £10,800 – £137,500 |
| Semi-detached | 47 | 43.5% | £64,950 | £14,000 – £182,000 |
| Detached | 3 | 2.8% | £43,000 | £39,000 – £122,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 1 | 0.9% | £80,000 | £80,000 – £80,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Nelson Street, Ilkeston
1 of the sales on record are leasehold and 107 freehold — 0.9% 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 £80,000 and the median freehold sale £68,000 — a gap of -15.0%. 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 | 1 | 0.9% | £80,000 |
| Freehold | 107 | 99.1% | £68,000 |
A further 9 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.

Living in Nelson Street, Ilkeston
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Amber Valley, 40.1% of 61,836 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.6% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Amber Valley at £793 a month as of Jun 2026 — £579 for a one-bedroom home and £906 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £68,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 13.99% 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 DE7, 188 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 84 violent, 3 burglary, 8 vehicle-related and 22 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is about typical.
Against the 126,206 residents the 2021 census counted in Amber Valley, that is 1.49 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 Nelson Street, Ilkeston
The 2021 census counted 126,206 residents in Amber Valley across 56,277 households. 72.5% of those households own their home and 27.4% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

How Nelson Street, Ilkeston compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Nelson Street, Ilkeston sits below that national figure — -56.8%.
Within Ilkeston the street ranks 548 of 628 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £103,000 (-34.0%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,079 per square metre, across 26 of the 108 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 £10,800 to £182,000. 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.
Nelson Street, Ilkeston sits in Amber Valley, in the East Midlands.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Amber Valley at 6.5 times median local earnings of £35,912 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 Nelson Street, Ilkeston?

How many homes have sold in Nelson Street, Ilkeston?
108 sales are on record for Nelson Street, Ilkeston, the most recent completing on 12 Sep 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

When were Nelson Street, Ilkeston house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £82,000, set in 2007. 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 Nelson Street, Ilkeston?
£1,079 per square metre, from the 26 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 12 Sep 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.
