Derby Property Market
Everywhere in Derby is a total mix of old and new: Victorian built traditional shops rub shoulders with modern glass and concrete designs; railway terraces share the same street as ultra modern new town houses. Nearly seven out of ten people own their own home here, and privately rented accommodation is in short supply - only 7,400 units of private rented accommodation at the last count, in a city of 240,000 people. Housing stock in the city centre of Derby (DE1) is mainly flats, which may suit couples without children or students, given the nearby University of Derby.
