In cash terms the typical BS4 home went from £42,500 in 1995 to £354,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 283%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 7% 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 BS4 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, 2009 (−8.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +9.3% | +6.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.1% | −0.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.6% | +1.7% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 54% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £550,000 against £210,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

Sales activity in BS4
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 542 BS4 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 1,070 sales a year before the financial crisis and 597 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.
