Our read
Prices: steady
The typical home across our patch sold for £230,000 in the twelve months to June 2026, within 1% of the year before. After the swings of the last few years, that's about as calm as the market gets.
Sales: down, but read the small print
About 2,200 homes changed hands, roughly 11% fewer than the year before. Part of that is a quirk. Stamp duty went up on 1 April 2025, and buyers rushed to complete in March, so last year's figures include a one-off spike. Part of it is timing: Land Registry is still recording some sales from the spring, so this year's count will creep up a little.
Who stood out
Dronfield was the strongest of the bigger areas, with the typical price up 7% to £300,000. Wingerworth was the only larger area where sales rose, up 10%. In Chesterfield itself, Hasland and Brampton slipped back by 6 to 7%, which for buyers means some of the best value within reach of the town centre.
Out in the Peak
Baslow and Holymoorside are both up on paper, but with fewer than 30 sales each, one or two bigger houses can do that on their own. Bakewell, Matlock and Darley Dale all saw noticeably fewer sales. We'll watch whether that's a quieter market or simply late registrations.
Our call for the next three months
Nothing in these figures points to a sharp move either way. Our call is broadly flat prices through the winter, with the usual seasonal dip in the number of sales. We'll check this against the next issue and tell you if we got it wrong.
Our opinion from the figures, not advice. Every home is different.

How we worked it out
Every figure is from HM Land Registry's record of completed standard sales, comparing July 2025 to June 2026 with July 2024 to June 2025. "Typical price" is the median: half of homes sold for more, half for less. Land Registry records a sale when the deed is registered, often two or three months after completion, so we leave out the most recent months, and the latest figures may still rise a little as late registrations arrive.
