In cash terms the typical BR1 3 home went from £68,000 in 1995 to £428,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 190%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BR1 3 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2000 (+33.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +7.1% | +4.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 76 BR1 3 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 415 sales a year before the financial crisis and 173 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of BR1 3
For renting purposes BR1 3 sits in Bromley. The ONS average private rent there is £1,675 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,304 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,915, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Bromley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £428,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,675 a month (£20,100 a year) works out at a 4.7% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
How BR1 3 trades

The price of an extra bedroom in BR
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the BR area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £539,000 | £760,000 (+41%) | £1,098,750 (+45%) | £1,443,750 (+31%) |
| Semi-detached | £400,000 | £464,000 (+16%) | £595,000 (+28%) | £775,000 (+30%) | £985,000 (+27%) |
