Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on DH7: steady sales, so price from the evidence
At around 47 sales a month, DH7 ticks along steadily, and with no dependable year-on-year figure to hand, recent sold homes are a safer guide than any headline.
If you are selling, a spread from £69,900 to £266,400 makes £129,000 a poor guide to any one home, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseIf you are buying, DH7 sits well below the UK average for typical prices, so find out why prices run lower here before deciding it is good value.
Before an offer goes in on any DH7 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (61 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and the EPC, since it drives running costs, and leave the title to your conveyancer.
With averages this broad, the free DH7 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning and council tax from the official sources.

In plain English
What the County Durham (DH7) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £255,000 against £105,000 for terraced homes: about 2.4 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £69,900 and £266,400, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (95%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
- This is an active district: about 47 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 DH7 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in DH7: 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.
