House prices in Derbyshire rose by just over five per cent in a year, Land
Registry figures show.
In April 2007, the average price of a house in the county stood at £138,988
compared to £131,635 the previous April.
April’s figures also represent a rise of 0.4 per cent on March’s house prices.
The average cost of a detached house in Derbyshire in April was £226,273,
semis costs £116,432 and the average price of a terraced house stood at
£90,404.
The figures put Derbyshire below the national average cost of a house, which
stood at £179,935 in April.
The busiest month for moving house in Derbyshire between April 2006 and this
February was in August last year, when 1,610 properties were sold. The quietest
month was in February with 1,049 homes sold.
