Darlington property market: common questions
Where is Darlington?
Darlington sits on the edge of Durham, covering about 10 square miles.
What is the average house price in Darlington?
The median asking price across the 627 homes for sale in Darlington is £160,000 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £105,500 and £237,498. That is 3% below Durham. Homes that actually sold in Darlington went for a median £152,625 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).
Are house prices in Darlington rising or falling?
Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Darlington is up 33% over the last 10 years and up 5% over the last 12 months (12 months to February 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Darlington cheaper than Durham?
Yes: asking prices in Darlington are typically lower than across Durham. The median asking price in Darlington is £160,000 against £165k across Durham: 3% below Durham. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. Entry-level prices are close to Durham's.

How much do flats and houses cost in Darlington?
The median asking price for a flat in Darlington is £97,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £100,000 across 181 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Darlington?
The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Darlington is £95,000, across 53 current listings.
How much is a three-bedroom house in Darlington?
There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Darlington is semi-detached houses, at a median asking price of £180,000 across 104 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (627 in Darlington), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Darlington since May 2026.
- Durham comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Durham, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to February 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to August 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
