How Oxford Close, Peterlee prices moved
The chart tracks the median Oxford Close, Peterlee house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2015 to 2017. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2010s | 3 | £127,450 | £179,705 |
The highest yearly median on record for Oxford Close, Peterlee is £134,950 in 2017; the lowest is £118,450 in 2016. Across the full 3-year record the cash median has moved from £127,450 to £134,950.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £179,705, so the real change over the whole record is +2.2% — about +1.10% 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.
Section 02
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.

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 Oxford Close, Peterlee 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. Oxford Close, Peterlee 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 | 25 | 37.9% | £124,950 | £89,950 – £155,000 |
| Detached | 22 | 33.3% | £156,950 | £134,950 – £199,999 |
| Terraced | 19 | 28.8% | £109,950 | £88,000 – £132,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Oxford Close, Peterlee
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 66 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 | 66 | 100.0% | £125,975 |
| New build | 50 | 75.8% | £124,950 |
| Existing home | 16 | 24.2% | £129,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -3.1%. 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.
A further 3 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 Oxford Close, Peterlee
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.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

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 £125,975 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.11% 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 SR8, 306 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 108 violent, 8 burglary, 9 vehicle-related and 52 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.8 times busier.
Against the 522,068 residents the 2021 census counted in County Durham, that is 0.59 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.
