1 · most deprived10 · least deprived

DH2 3PP, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 3 of 10 — where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.

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 DH2 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in DH2 that have recorded sales and 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home.

Questions, answered

The DH2 report: your questions

What is the average house price in DH2?

The median sold price in DH2, County Durham was £143,500 across 250 recorded sales between 5 Dec 2025 and 24 Jul 2026. Most sales fell between £63,950 and £320,000. That is the median of real HM Land Registry transactions, not an estimate or a valuation.

Which schools are near DH2?

The Department for Education's register lists 8 open schools within 3 km of the DH2 district centre, the nearest being Chester-Le-Street CofE (Controlled) 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distance from the district centroid — they are not catchment or admission areas, which councils set individually and do not publish centrally.

Is DH2 a deprived area?

On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 DH2 postcodes we sampled 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 DH2 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.

Have there been planning applications near DH2?

The last check of the local planning authority register found 155 applications within 500 m of the DH2 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 DH2 sold for?

Yes — this page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 242 distinct addresses in the records we hold for DH2, 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.

How up to date are the DH2 sold prices?

Sold prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering sales up to 31 July 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.

Does DH2 cover my exact street?

DH2 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.
