Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on DL13: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead

DL13 sees about 18 sales a month, so there is a fair body of evidence, but not enough of it for a trustworthy twelve-month trend.

When selling here, the spread in DL13 is wide, with most sales between £65,000 and £368,700, so lean on the nearest like-for-like sale rather than the middle figure; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.

Sell house

For buyers, DL13 sits well below the UK average for typical prices, so find out why prices run lower here before deciding it is good value.

Worth checking before you commit: planning history nearby (24 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and the EPC, since it drives running costs; your conveyancer should look at the title too.

The sold prices leave a lot open; the free DL13 OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English

What the County Durham (DL13) numbers mean

The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £325,000 against £116,000 for terraced homes: about 2.8 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £65,000 and £368,700, 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 18 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 DL13 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in DL13: 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.

Questions, answered

The DL13 report: your questions

What is the average house price in DL13?

The typical (median) sold price in DL13 is £151,000, from 250 recorded sales between 23 June 2025 and 26 August 2026. Most sales fell between £65,000 and £368,700. That is well below the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index averages). A median is the middle sale, so a few very expensive homes do not pull it up the way they pull up an average.

What does each type of home cost in DL13?

Typical sold prices by type in DL13: terraced homes £116,000 (123 sales), detached homes £325,000 (62 sales), semi-detached homes £150,000 (51 sales), flats £97,500 (4 sales). Use the figure for your type of home rather than the all-homes median.

Which schools are near DL13?

The Department for Education's register lists 1 open school within 3 km of the DL13 district centre, the nearest being Frosterley Primary School (last Ofsted grade: Good). These are nearest by straight-line distance from the district centroid. They are not catchment or admission areas, which councils set individually and do not publish centrally.

How up to date are the DL13 sold prices?

Sold prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering sales up to 28 August 2026. The store is rebuilt monthly. New sales can take several weeks to appear in the official register after completion, so the very latest transactions may not show yet.

Is DL13 a deprived area?

On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 DL13 postcodes we sampled (the ones with the most recent recorded sales, not a random sample) run from decile 2 to decile 5, with a median of decile 4 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. Deprivation is published for small areas, not postcode districts, so a district like DL13 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.

Have there been planning applications near DL13?

The last check of the local planning authority register found 24 applications within 500 m of the DL13 district centre; the most recent are listed on this page with their reference, description and status as the authority published them. For an up-to-the-minute search, use the planning tool with your full postcode.

Can I see what an individual address in DL13 sold for?

Yes. This page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 245 distinct addresses in the records we hold for DL13, each with its price and date. Addresses come from recorded sales since 1995, so a home that has never been sold does not appear; and we link an address to its own property page only where the match is certain, never by guessing.

Does DL13 cover my exact street?

DL13 is the outward half of the postcode and covers the whole district, so the district-wide figures on this page are medians and ranges, not a valuation of any single property. The address list gives you the door-level picture, and the free checks take a full postcode.
