Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on DE55: steady sales, so price from the evidence
Roughly 49 homes a month change hands in DE55, a pace that gives buyers and sellers something to compare, without a year-on-year figure we would stand behind.
If you are thinking of selling, most DE55 sales sit between £106,900 and £365,200, which makes £184,000 a blunt instrument, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; roughly 49 sales a month is enough for buyers to compare, so evidence beats optimism.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, on price, DE55 is well below the UK average, so ask what is behind the lower prices before you assume a bargain.
Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (205 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,408 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
With averages this broad, the free DE55 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning and council tax from the official sources.

In plain English
What the Amber Valley (DE55) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £303,750 against £138,250 for terraced homes: about 2.2 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £106,900 and £365,200, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (99%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
- This is an active district: about 49 recorded sales a month.

These are Amber Valley's charges for 2026-27, the authority DE55 falls in, not an estimate for any individual home. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

I have 5 large cherry trees at the front of my property, at the borderline, before the public pavement and then main road. Im applying to have the trees pruned. Theyre overhanging in all directions; neighbours drives, pavement and towards my home. The branches are also getting very low and starting to touch the roof or my car, when parked on my driveway. This application is purely for practical trimming or the trees. I wouldnt want to lose the overall presence of them, but they do require some maintenance. I have spoken with a tree surgeon who has confirmed he could carefully work on the trees, pending approval. Part of the plan is to trim the low hanging branches, which have gradually gotten lower over the last few years. Theyre currently below head height in parts. For example people have to duck on the pavement and I have to on the driveway. The 2nd part is to bring the sides in, so theyre not overhanging as much as they currently are. There are no intentions to reduce the overall height of the trees. Let me know if you need any more information. Regards, Job

Across the 12 sampled DE55 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 2 to decile 10, with a median of decile 4 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
DE55 3DA, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 4 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so DE55 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in DE55: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in DE55, band by band
Amber Valley's council tax for 2026-27 set against the DE55 median sold price of £184,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearAmber Valley | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £184,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,605 | £134 | 0.87% |

| H | over £320,000 | £4,815 | £401 | 2.62% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the DE55 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
