How The Croft, Stanley prices moved
The chart tracks the median The Croft, Stanley house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2005 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 3 | £110,000 | £200,388 |
The highest yearly median on record for The Croft, Stanley is £117,998 in 2006; the lowest is £91,995 in 2005. Across the full 3-year record the cash median has moved from £91,995 to £110,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £167,588, so the real change over the whole record is +14.1% — about +6.83% 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.

Section 03
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 The Croft, Stanley 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. The Croft, Stanley 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 | 37 | 57.8% | £91,995 | £69,000 – £183,950 |
| Detached | 19 | 29.7% | £135,995 | £110,000 – £215,000 |
| Semi-detached | 8 | 12.5% | £115,995 | £96,500 – £141,995 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in The Croft, Stanley
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 64 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 | 64 | 100.0% | £106,498 |
| New build | 30 | 46.9% | £113,495 |
| Existing home | 34 | 53.1% | £100,750 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +12.7%. 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 7 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 The Croft, Stanley
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 |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1,955 | 0.6% |

| C | 111,773 | 36.2% |

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 £106,498 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.22% 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 DH9, 266 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 95 violent, 11 burglary, 5 vehicle-related and 39 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.6 times busier.
Against the 522,068 residents the 2021 census counted in County Durham, that is 0.51 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 The Croft, Stanley
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.
20 state and independent schools have a DH9 postcode: 17 primary, 2 secondary, 1 nursery. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How The Croft, Stanley compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. The Croft, Stanley sits below that national figure — -32.4%.
Within Stanley the street ranks 130 of 539 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £72,000 (+47.9%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,634 per square metre, across 4 of the 64 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 £69,000 to £215,000. 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.
The Croft, Stanley 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 The Croft, Stanley?
The median price paid in The Croft, Stanley across every sale on the register is £106,498. 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 The Croft, Stanley?
64 sales are on record for The Croft, Stanley, the most recent completing on 1 May 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
When were The Croft, Stanley house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £117,998, set in 2006. 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 The Croft, Stanley?
£1,634 per square metre, from the 4 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 1 May 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.
