In cash terms the typical BS6 7 home went from £80,000 in 1995 to £640,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 268%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 26% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BS6 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 2003 (+24.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−10.5%). 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) | −10.5% | −12.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +1.0% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 45 sales completed in BS6 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 232 sales a year before the financial crisis and 118 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.
How BS6 7 trades
Only 45 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BS6 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Within BS6, this sector trades 52% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What tenants pay around BS6 7
BS6 7 falls under Bristol, City of, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,883 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £640,000 median sold price, £1,883 a month is £22,596 a year, a gross yield of 3.5%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in BS: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the BS area, straight 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.
