In cash terms the typical BR7 6 home went from £86,500 in 1995 to £586,600 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 212%, 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 20% 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 BR7 6 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 (+20.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−9.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What BR7 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.6% | −6.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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 register shows 50 BR7 6 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 249 sales a year before the financial crisis and 124 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 homes rent for around BR7 6
The local authority for BR7 6 is Bromley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
£1,675 a month is £20,100 a year, which against the £586,600 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.4%. 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.
What kind of market BR7 6 is
This is a thin market: 50 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.

Moving up a bedroom in BR: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the BR area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

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.
