Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on DH5: steady sales, so price from the evidence
DH5 sees about 25 sales a month, which is enough to price from, though not enough history for us to call a clear twelve-month direction.
If you are thinking of selling, a spread from £56,500 to £245,000 makes £140,000 a poor guide to any one home, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, typical prices in DH5 sit well below the UK average, so ask what is behind the lower prices before you assume a bargain.
On any DH5 home we would check what has been applied for nearby (397 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and the EPC rating, and ask a conveyancer to read the title.
Averages only go so far, so the free DH5 OfferCheck sets flood, crime, planning and council tax beside the sold prices.

In plain English
What the County Durham (DH5) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £230,500 against £84,625 for terraced homes: about 2.7 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £56,500 and £245,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (91%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
- This is an active district: about 25 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 DH5 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in DH5: 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.
