Bedminster market report BS3 1, Bristol
The BS3 1 (Bedminster) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 6,446 registered sales in BS3 1 (Bristol) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: the 2026 median for BS3 1 (Bristol) is £423,000, from 72 registered sales, up 7% on five years earlier; the mean is £432,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,970 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 6,446 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
BS3 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside BS3 (Bristol). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical BS3 1 home went from £48,000 in 1995 to £423,000 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 305%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 19% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BS3 1 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 2002 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−12.5%). 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 year (since 2025) | +14.6% | +12.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +0.9% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +0.9% |
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.
Sales activity in BS3 1
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
BS3 1 recorded 72 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 245 sales a year before the financial crisis and 180 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 BS3 1 market
Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
What tenants pay around BS3 1
For renting purposes BS3 1 sits in Bristol, City of. The ONS average private rent there is £1,883 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,224 a month here against £2,552 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Bristol, City of
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,883 a month is £22,596 a year, which against the £423,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.3%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in BS: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the BS area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
