Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on DL16: steady sales, so price from the evidence

250 sales since December 2025 make DL16 a steady market, and with no dependable year-on-year figure to hand, recent sold homes are a safer guide than any headline.

If you are selling, with detached homes at £240,000 and terraced homes at £87,999, the £61,977 to £265,000 spread is really several markets, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.

Sell house

If you are buying, typical prices in DL16 sit well below the UK average, so ask what is behind the lower prices before you assume a bargain.

Before an offer goes in on any DL16 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (506 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and the EPC, since it drives running costs, and leave the title to your conveyancer.

Averages only go so far, so the free DL16 OfferCheck sets flood, crime, planning and council tax beside the sold prices.

In plain English

What the County Durham (DL16) numbers mean

  • The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £240,000 against £87,999 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 £61,977 and £265,000, so the median says little about any one home.
  • Nearly all of these sales (97%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
  • This is an active district: about 29 recorded sales a month.

We sampled 12 postcodes in DL16: 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 DL16 report: your questions

What is the average house price in DL16?
The typical (median) sold price in DL16 is £135,500, from 250 recorded sales between 4 December 2025 and 21 August 2026. Most sales fell between £61,977 and £265,000. 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 DL16?
Typical sold prices by type in DL16: terraced homes £87,999 (103 sales), semi-detached homes £145,000 (78 sales), detached homes £240,000 (62 sales), flats £53,750 (2 sales). Use the figure for your type of home rather than the all-homes median.
Which schools are near DL16?
The Department for Education's register lists 8 open schools within 3 km of the DL16 district centre, the nearest being Rosa Street Primary and Nursery Academy (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 DL16 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 DL16 a deprived area?
On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 DL16 postcodes we sampled (the ones with the most recent recorded sales, not a random sample) run from decile 2 to decile 10, with a median of decile 3 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 DL16 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.
Have there been planning applications near DL16?
The last check of the local planning authority register found 506 applications within 500 m of the DL16 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 DL16 sold for?
Yes. This page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 245 distinct addresses in the records we hold for DL16, 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 DL16 cover my exact street?
DL16 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.
