In cash terms the typical DA1 1 home went from £49,000 in 1995 to £325,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 205%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DA1 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 2000 (+23.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.7%). 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 years (since 2025) | −7.1% | −9.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 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.
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.
DA1 1 recorded 48 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 279 sales a year before the financial crisis and 150 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.
What tenants pay around DA1 1
For renting purposes DA1 1 sits in Dartford. The ONS average private rent there is £1,562 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,082 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,352, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Dartford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £325,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,562 a month (£18,744 a year) works out at a 5.8% 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.
What kind of market DA1 1 is
This is a thin market: 48 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. Within DA1, this sector trades 11% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

What another bedroom costs in DA
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the DA area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
