| 1996 | £102,000 | £215,113 | 291 |
| 1995 | £101,500 | £220,645 | 241 |
In cash terms the typical BR4 home went from £101,500 in 1995 to £675,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 206%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BR4 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 (+19.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−13.0%). 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) | −1.5% | −3.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +1.0% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 50% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £855,000 against £270,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

How many homes change hands in BR4
The year-by-year sales count
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 182 BR4 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 348 sales a year before the financial crisis and 191 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.

For renting purposes BR4 sits in Bromley. The ONS average private rent there is £1,675 a month (May 2026). 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 £675,000 median sold price, £1,675 a month is £20,100 a year, a gross yield of 3.0%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in BR
Real sold prices by size across the BR area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
