The DA1 4 median stands at £380,000 for 2026, built from 49 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £338,600, below it, which usually means a cluster of very cheap recorded transfers is dragging the average down.
DA1 4 prices by floor area

In cash terms the typical DA1 4 home went from £52,200 in 1995 to £380,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 235%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2019; the current median sits about 3% below that. Someone who bought at the 2019 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DA1 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 2014 (+27.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−9.7%). 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) | +7.0% | +4.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.2% | −0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.2% | +1.4% |
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
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 49 sales completed in DA1 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 198 sales a year before the financial crisis and 109 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
How DA1 4 trades
Only 49 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DA1 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What homes rent for around DA1 4
DA1 4 falls under Bexley, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,528 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,221 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,413, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Bexley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £380,000 median sold price, £1,528 a month is £18,336 a year, a gross yield of 4.8%: 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.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 23% over five years in cash but down 3% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

33% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

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. 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 | — | £450,000 | £600,000 (+33%) | £800,000 (+33%) | £1,100,000 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £341,500 | £410,000 (+20%) | £480,000 (+17%) | £600,000 (+25%) | £712,500 (+19%) |

| Flat | £217,500 | £287,995 (+32%) | £339,997 (+18%) | — | — |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
