What a square metre costs in BS7
Measured by floor area, the last five years of BS7 sales average about £4,690 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical BS7 home went from £56,000 in 1995 to £426,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 250%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 11% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BS7 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 2000 (+24.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−9.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
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 £561,000 against £265,000 for a flat, 2.1 times the price.

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.
The turnover behind the prices
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 472 sales completed in BS7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 907 sales a year before the financial crisis and 478 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.
Rents around BS7
BS7 falls under Bristol, City of, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,883 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,224 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,552 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £426,000 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.
How BS7 trades
BS7 sits 8 of 37 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.

The BS7 sales calendar
Take the 2,882 BS7 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: March completions lead with 11.0% of the total, April trails with 6.0%. That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.

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. 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 | £300,000 | £357,500 (+19%) | £414,995 (+16%) | £530,000 (+28%) | £710,000 (+34%) |
| Semi-detached | £244,000 | £285,000 (+17%) | £327,500 (+15%) | £415,000 (+27%) | £550,000 (+33%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
