Bolsover: the market in figures
Bolsover occupies the last place in the East Midlands table: 11th of 11 covered areas, and 120th of 135 overall. At £183,198 it is 24.3% below the regional £241,955 and 32.9% below the UK £273,037. Even so, the last twelve months added 1.5%, ahead of the region's 0.5%. What deserves attention is the climb. In 2016 the price was £107,093; today it is £183,198, the highest value of the series, so the area has risen 71.1%, or £76,105. The largest steps came in 2021 (16.2%) and 2022 (12.5%), followed by 2017 (8.9%) and 2025 (7.4%). Only 2024 recorded a decline, of 1.7%. The remaining years produced between 0.5% and 4.4%, plus 3.7% in 2023. Kensington and Chelsea leads the covered list and City of Aberdeen sits last, so Bolsover's 120th place is close to the lower end.
Here a detached property costs £261,339 on average, against £173,648 for a semi-detached one, £143,803 for a terraced one and £87,199 for a flat. That puts detached homes £174,140 above flats (199.7%). Buyers getting on the ladder average £169,721, 7.4% under all buyers.
At the average price, Stamp Duty amounts to £1,164 when a home mover buys, amounting to 0.6% of the price. First-time buyers are charged £0, and buyers of an additional property are charged £10,324. The Land Registry fee is £100. Sales totalled 1,234 in the window from June 2025 to May 2026.
Almost every neighbour costs more than Bolsover. North East Derbyshire, 14 km away, averages £253,012, which is 38.1% above, and its price rose 5.3% in the latest year. Sheffield (£217,603) is 18.8% above, Bassetlaw (£211,488) 15.4% above and Rotherham (£191,052) 4.3% above. Doncaster is the only lower one, at £172,770, 5.7% below, though it rose 3.8%. Bolsover's own rise of 1.5% is therefore slower than that of three of the five neighbours listed.
