What a square metre costs in BR2

In cash terms the typical BR2 home went from £80,000 in 1995 to £555,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 219%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 13% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BR2 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 2003 (+22.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−6.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 32% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £850,000 against £343,500 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in BR2
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 498 BR2 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 1,104 sales a year before the financial crisis and 549 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 BR2
BR2 falls under Bromley, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,675 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £555,000 median sold price, £1,675 a month is £20,100 a year, a gross yield of 3.6%: 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.

Is BR2 (Hayes) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in BR2 (Hayes)?
Are property prices falling in BR2 (Hayes)?
Are BR2 prices heading up or down?
The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 11% over five years in cash but down 12% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.

Bedroom by bedroom: BR prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the BR area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
