BR1 5 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside BR1 (Bromley). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical BR1 5 home went from £62,000 in 1995 to £450,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 234%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 10% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BR1 5 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 (+21.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What BR1 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +7.1% | +4.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.4% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.6% | +1.8% |
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.
Sales activity in BR1 5
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
BR1 5 recorded 41 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 312 sales a year before the financial crisis and 114 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.
What kind of market BR1 5 is
This is a thin market: 41 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.
What homes rent for around BR1 5
BR1 5 falls under Lewisham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,821 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,450 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,705 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Lewisham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,821 a month is £21,852 a year, which against the £450,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Bedroom by bedroom: BR prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the BR area. 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.
| 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%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
