Most Expensive Streets in Derby: New Top 10

The Common in Quarndon is the most expensive street in Derby, averaging £1,181,250 over six standard residential sales logged from January 2020 to June 2026. The biggest single sale is £2,812,000, a detached freehold house sale on Well Lane in Repton, and Well Lane also holds fifth place in the table itself, so the record and the ranking share a street.

Two villages own the top of this market. Quarndon, north of the city, and Repton, to its south-west, take four of the first six places between them; Breaston, east of the city, adds two more. The pattern underneath is villages, small samples and modest ceilings: half the ten streets average under £1 million, £850,000 is enough to make the list, and no postcode district holds more than three rows.

Article published: August 2026.

Behind those figures sits HM Land Registry price paid data for the Derby postal town, in its newest release: 31,214 standard residential sales with a street name attached, January 2020 to June 2026. Grouped, those sales cover 4,214 named streets, and 3,580 of them put through at least the two qualifying sales a ranked average requires; the other 634 sold just once and sit outside the table. Wherever an average appears below, its sale count is printed beside it, and the count is the health warning on the figure: twenty sales test a street's price twenty times, two sales test it twice. For what a landlord can actually buy and earn, rather than ceilings, our Derby buy-to-let guide deals with the income end of the same market across the city's postcodes.

Top 10 Most Expensive Streets in Derby

Date range: 1st January 2020 to 30th June 2026. Based on the latest Land Registry price paid data at the time of research. Standard residential sales only (Category A): detached, semi-detached and terraced houses plus flats and maisonettes, bought freehold or leasehold.

Note: Only streets with two or more standard residential sales in this period are included in this table.

Ten rows, five postcode districts, and a tie at the top of the concentration count: DE22 north of the city and DE72 to its east hold three streets each, the first through Quarndon and Allestree, the second through Breaston and Weston on Trent. Repton supplies both DE65 entries from the south-west, and the remaining two districts hold one street each: Troon Close in Littleover's DE23 and Church Street in Lockington's DE74, out in the south-east. Sale counts run from two up to Burley Lane's twenty, and the street profiles that follow set every average beside the transactions that made it.

The Common, Quarndon

Six sales in the window, opening at £600,000 in September 2020, then £1,600,000 in June 2021 and £1,375,000 in August 2024. Then came February 2025, when the register recorded the street's cheapest and dearest sales three days apart: £392,500 on the 14th, £1,800,000 on the 17th. Both are ordinary register entries and both count, one pulling the average down, the other setting the street's record. A final £1,320,000 in October 2025 closed the street's busiest register year, with three of its six sales, and left the average at £1,181,250. Four of the six sales cleared £1.3 million, so the number is built on repeated top-end business rather than one outlier.

The Pastures and Well Lane: the Repton pair

Repton owns ranks two and five, and between them its two streets hold the two biggest underlying sales in the ranking. The Pastures reached £2,673,000 in June 2021; Well Lane had already gone £139,000 better that March, completing the £2,812,000 record. Neither street repeats those numbers in any other entry across the window. The Pastures' other five sales run from £475,000 to £1,650,000, and its £675,000 sale of June 2026 is the most recent transaction in this entire ranking. Well Lane's four sales stretch from £185,000 to the record itself, a wider spread than any other street in the table, and its £185,000 and £240,000 entries are the two smallest sums anywhere in the ranked ten. One street holds the dataset's record and its two smallest ranked transactions at once, and the £1,030,500 average is what that collision leaves behind.

Beech Avenue and Poplar Road: the Breaston pair

Breaston lands two streets from the east. Beech Avenue's third place was made by a single transaction: £1,600,000 in October 2025, on top of £770,000 in 2021 and £825,000 in 2023. Without that late sale its remaining pair average £797,500, which would miss this table; with it, the street averages £1,065,000. Poplar Road reads the other way round. Its £1,150,000 peak came first, in August 2020, and the four sales that followed all landed between £708,000 and £900,000. No street record on this page is older than that opening transaction, and nothing on Poplar Road has approached it since.

Burley Lane and Somme Road: the DE22 north

Burley Lane in Quarndon is the evidence heavyweight of the table: twenty sales, the deepest sample on the page, with at least one completion in every year from 2020 to 2025. Its range runs £335,000 to £1,825,000, seven of the twenty sales cleared £1 million, and 2025 alone brought five completions including the £1,825,000 street record in April and £1,575,000 a month later. No figure in this ranking has been tested by more transactions than Burley Lane's £966,500. Somme Road in Allestree, on the city's northern edge, is its opposite: two register entries, £1,225,000 in May 2024 and £875,000 in September 2025, £350,000 apart, leaving a £1,050,000 average that belongs to neither transaction.

Troon Close, Littleover

Troon Close, on the city's south-western side, is this table's register curiosity. Its two qualifying sales completed thirty-two months apart, one in April 2022 and one in December 2024, and both went through at exactly £950,000. The register shows two entries, two dates, one price, at house numbers in the same short stretch of the street; both are real sales and both are in the maths. The result is the only ranked street whose average, highest sale and lowest sale are all the same number.

Weston Road and Church Street: the south-eastern tail

Weston Road in Weston on Trent carries five sales that swing hard: £950,000 and £750,000 in early 2021, £1,475,000 in October 2024, then a £350,000 sale in January 2026 and £862,500 that April. The two 2026 completions pulled its average down to £877,500. Church Street in Lockington sets the table's floor with two sales, £790,000 in December 2020 and £910,000 in July 2023, for an £850,000 average. Lockington also supplies a near miss worth knowing about: Church Lane, in the same village, recorded the highest-priced single sale of any one-sale street in the extract, £1,100,000 in September 2022, which the two-sale rule cannot count.

Derby's Highest Individual Property Sales

Published August 2026

Date range: 1st January 2020 to 30th June 2026. Based on the latest Land Registry price paid data at the time of research.

The ceiling of the whole Derby extract is £2,812,000: a detached freehold house on Well Lane in Repton, March 2021. Within this table the chase was a Repton affair: £2,673,000 on The Pastures completed under three months later, £139,000 behind, and no ranked street has come near either figure since. The best ranked-street sale of the following five years is Burley Lane's £1,825,000 of April 2025, more than £980,000 short of the record. One scope note belongs beside the table: it shows each ranked street's biggest sale, not a city-wide list of the ten largest transactions, and the one-sale streets outside the ranking topped out at Church Lane's £1,100,000.

Note: This table shows each ranked street's single biggest standard residential (Category A) sale in the window, ordered by price.

The record table skews recent, with six of its ten dates falling in 2024 and 2025: Somme Road and Weston Road during 2024, Troon Close that December, then The Common, Burley Lane and Beech Avenue through 2025. The summit runs the other way. The two biggest sales in the table both date from 2021, with only Poplar Road's £1,150,000 of August 2020 standing older, and by the end of the window the Well Lane record had stood unchallenged for more than five years. The middle of this table refreshed right through 2025; its top has not moved since 2021.

Derby's Record Streets: Total Value of Property Sales

Published August 2026

Date range: 1st January 2020 to 30th June 2026. Based on the latest Land Registry price paid data at the time of research.

Add up every qualifying sale on each street and the running order rewrites itself, with the busiest street in the ranking jumping five places to the top.

Note: Totals sum every qualifying standard residential (Category A) sale recorded on each ranked street in the period. One unranked street out-totals every row here: Heritage Road in Castle Donington.

Between them the ten ranked streets turned over £55,014,000 across 55 sales, more than a third of it on Burley Lane alone. Heritage Road in Castle Donington, sharing its DE74 district with tenth-placed Church Street, recorded 168 qualifying sales worth £56,695,798 in the same window: one street, nearly £1.7 million more than the entire top ten combined. Its average is roughly £337,000 a sale, far below the £850,000 floor of the ranked table. An average asks what a street's buyers typically paid; a total counts how much business the street did, and on the second question Heritage Road out-trades the ranked ten put together.

The Top 10 Mapped

The interactive map will load as it approaches the viewport.

The ten pins, numbered by rank, fall into three tight clusters and a scattered tail. Pins 1 and 6 sit a few hundred metres apart in Quarndon, with Allestree's pin 4 a couple of kilometres south of them; the Repton pair, 2 and 5, sit closer still in the south-west; Breaston's 3 and 8 nearly touch in the east. Troon Close marks the city's south-western edge on its own, and Weston Road and Church Street close the map in the south-east. The placement comes straight from the register: each street is pinned at the full postcode where the biggest share of its qualifying sales went through, at that postcode's official ONS coordinates, and where two postcodes tie, the later sale decides.

Where Do Derby's Wealthy Actually Live?

Measured on sold prices, the highest averages belong to two villages rather than any one area of the city: Quarndon, north of the city, with The Common and Burley Lane, and Repton in the south-west, with The Pastures and Well Lane, four of the top six places between them. Ask the same data where the posh areas in Derby are and the answer widens: Breaston in the east, Allestree on the city's northern edge, Littleover to its south-west, the villages of the south-east, and then the pattern simply continues down the list, because the fifty priciest of the excluded one-sale streets carry locality names such as Ticknall, Ockbrook, Aston on Trent and Breedon on the Hill, villages the register books to neighbouring districts rather than to the city. Mickleover, Littleover's larger neighbour, sits fully inside this extract yet places nothing in the ranked ten; its strongest showing is a one-sale street, Staker Lane's £800,000 entry, and no Mickleover street with two or more qualifying sales averages past £644,000.

The millionaires' row question gets an answer with a twist in Derby: both credible claimants live in the same village. The Common holds the highest average at £1,181,250, and Burley Lane counts the most seven-figure sales in the table, seven of its twenty. Whichever measure you prefer, the label lands on Quarndon rather than on any single street.

Repton's presence at the top of the table comes with a landmark attached: the village is home to Repton School, whose own history traces its founding to Sir John Port's bequest of 1557 and whose address carries the same DE65 postcode district the register records for The Pastures and Well Lane.

One reading rule before any label sticks: the register logs purchases, not people. A sale appears once completed and lodged for registration, and a household that stays put for thirty years leaves no trace in it, so a quiet lane of large houses can sit entirely outside these tables however valuable its homes may be.

How to Find the Most Expensive Streets in Derby

Nothing here relies on private data. The register is open, and the method fits in five steps:

1. Open the HM Land Registry price paid data search.
2. Type Derby into the town or city box. The box searches the postal town, which takes in Quarndon, Repton, Breaston, Lockington, Castle Donington and a ring of other villages.
3. Keep to the four residential types, detached, semi-detached, terraced and flat/maisonette; ignore "other", the register's category for property types outside those four.
4. Set the dates. Ours were 1st January 2020 to 30th June 2026.
5. Export the results, put every sale under its street, take each street's average and keep only streets with two or more sales, which shuts single-sale streets out of the ranking.

Note: Before averaging, check the download for repeated rows, meaning rows identical in every field. A pair like Troon Close's, two sales at the same price on different dates, is genuine register data; a true duplicate repeats the date as well, and on a two-sale street it would silently double-count half the evidence. The Derby download contained none.

Half of this table is newer than it looks. Beech Avenue needed its £1,600,000 sale of October 2025 to reach third place, because its earlier pair average £797,500, short of the table floor. The Common logged three of its six sales during 2025, and The Pastures was still adding evidence in June 2026, the final month of the window. Wind the end date back a year and Beech Avenue's £1,600,000 sale drops out of the maths, taking its third place with it. The dates on this page are the dates its answer is true for.

The same dataset settles a different question at the cheaper end of the market: a below-market price has to be below something, and the completed-sale record is that something. Our below market value properties page runs on that comparison, and current investor-priced stock sits on our buy to let property for sale page.
