| 1995 | £61,500 | £133,692 | 161 |
In cash terms the typical BR8 7 home went from £61,500 in 1995 to £400,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 199%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BR8 7 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 2001 (+26.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.6%). 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) | +1.5% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
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 register shows 91 BR8 7 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 264 sales a year before the financial crisis and 165 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.
The rental side of BR8 7
For renting purposes BR8 7 sits in Sevenoaks. The ONS average private rent there is £1,790 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,252 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,926, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Sevenoaks
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £400,000 median sold price, £1,790 a month is £21,480 a year, a gross yield of 5.4%: 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.
