In cash terms the typical BR8 8 home went from £70,000 in 1995 to £430,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 183%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2018, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2018 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BR8 8 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 (+19.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.3%). 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) | −3.9% | −6.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
How many homes change hands in BR8 8
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 41 sales completed in BR8 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 128 sales a year before the financial crisis and 93 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.
The shape of the BR8 8 market
This is a thin market: 41 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
The rental side of BR8 8
BR8 8 falls under Sevenoaks, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,790 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,252 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,926 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Sevenoaks
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £430,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,790 a month (£21,480 a year) works out at a 5.0% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

75% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

What another bedroom costs in BR
Real sold prices by size across the BR area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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. 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.
