In cash terms the typical BR1 4 home went from £62,000 in 1995 to £465,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 245%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 14% 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 4 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 2020 (+20.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.0%). 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) | +5.2% | +2.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.5% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
BR1 4 recorded 50 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 322 sales a year before the financial crisis and 135 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What homes rent for around BR1 4
BR1 4 falls under Bromley, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,675 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,304 a month here against £2,915 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Bromley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £465,000 median sold price, £1,675 a month is £20,100 a year, a gross yield of 4.3%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How BR1 4 trades
Only 50 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BR1 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

What another bedroom costs in BR
What homes of each size actually sold for across the BR area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
