Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on SR7: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
250 sales since December 2025 make SR7 a steady market, 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 SR7 is wide, with most sales between £52,700 and £260,500, 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 houseFor buyers, SR7 sits well below the UK average for typical prices, so ask what is behind the lower prices before you assume a bargain.
Worth checking before you commit: planning history nearby (238 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.
Averages only go so far, so the free SR7 OfferCheck sets flood, crime, planning and council tax beside the sold prices.

In plain English
What the County Durham (SR7) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £260,000 against £92,000 for flats: 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 £52,700 and £260,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (94%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
- This is an active district: about 31 recorded sales a month.

Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so SR7 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in SR7: 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.
