In cash terms the typical BS8 4 home went from £71,000 in 1995 to £475,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 208%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 16% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BS8 4 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 2010 (+26.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−10.4%). 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) | +11.8% | +9.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.5% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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 BS8 4
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 57 BS8 4 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 297 sales a year before the financial crisis and 132 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.
Rents around BS8 4
BS8 4 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.
Against the £475,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,883 a month (£22,596 a year) works out at a 4.8% 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.
Reading the BS8 4 market
This is a thin market: 57 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. Against the BS8 district median, BS8 4 sits 9% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: BS prices by size
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.
