Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on DH4: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
At around 35 sales a month, DH4 ticks along steadily, so there is a fair body of evidence, but not enough of it for a trustworthy twelve-month trend.
For sellers, detached homes typically sold for £249,000 against £75,000 for flats, which explains a spread of £67,800 to £260,200, so the closest sold homes of your type say much more than the middle; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.
Sell houseWhen buying here, typical prices in DH4 sit well below the UK average, so ask what is behind the lower prices before you assume a bargain.
Worth checking before you commit: planning history nearby (68 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and the EPC rating; your conveyancer should look at the title too.
The sold prices leave a lot open; the free DH4 OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English
What the County Durham (DH4) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £249,000 against £75,000 for flats: about 3.3 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £67,800 and £260,200, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (92%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
- This is an active district: about 35 recorded sales a month.

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 DH4 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in DH4: 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.
