In cash terms the typical BR6 0 home went from £80,000 in 1995 to £607,500 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 249%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.
Year-on-year change in the BR6 0 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 2026 (+30.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−20.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +30.6% | +27.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.4% | +0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.1% | +1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.7% | +1.8% |
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 BR6 0
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.
BR6 0 recorded 48 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 198 sales a year before the financial crisis and 129 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around BR6 0
For renting purposes BR6 0 sits in Bromley. The ONS average private rent there is £1,675 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,304 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,915 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Bromley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £607,500 median sold price, £1,675 a month is £20,100 a year, a gross yield of 3.3%: 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.
What kind of market BR6 0 is
This is a thin market: 48 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 you could buy in BR6 now
Turning to what is actually available: 413 homes on the market right now, from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole BR6 district, not just BR6 0: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 25% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
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. 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%) |
| Terraced | £369,000 | £425,000 (+15%) | £545,000 (+28%) | £690,000 (+27%) | — |
| Flat | £268,500 | £367,000 (+37%) | £498,750 (+36%) | £750,000 (+50%) | — |
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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
