Section 02
The most recent sales

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Thorpe Road, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 35 | 50.0% | £98,000 | £28,000 – £165,000 |
| Semi-detached | 22 | 31.4% | £115,000 | £43,500 – £190,000 |
| Detached | 13 | 18.6% | £190,000 | £59,000 – £405,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Thorpe Road, Peterlee
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 70 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 | 70 | 100.0% | £109,975 |
A further 4 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.
| 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 £109,975 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.99% 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 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.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Thorpe Road, Peterlee
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.
19 state and independent schools have a SR8 postcode: 12 primary, 4 secondary, 2 nursery, 1 16 plus. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Thorpe Road, Peterlee compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Thorpe Road, Peterlee sits below that national figure — -30.2%.
Within Peterlee the street ranks 98 of 501 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £63,000 (+74.6%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £28,000 to £405,000. 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.
Thorpe Road, Peterlee 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. 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 Thorpe Road, Peterlee?
The median price paid in Thorpe Road, Peterlee across every sale on the register is £109,975. 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 Thorpe Road, Peterlee?
70 sales are on record for Thorpe Road, Peterlee, the most recent completing on 22 Oct 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Thorpe Road, Peterlee house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +14.6% between 2017 and 2022. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -2.5%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Thorpe Road, Peterlee house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £165,000, set in 2022. 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 Thorpe Road, Peterlee?
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 22 Oct 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.
