| 1995 | £53,800 | £116,953 | 127 |
In cash terms the typical DA1 5 home went from £53,800 in 1995 to £320,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 174%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DA1 5 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 (+32.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.9% | −8.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.2% | −2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.4% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 78 DA1 5 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 257 sales a year before the financial crisis and 184 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.
What kind of market DA1 5 is

The rental side of DA1 5
DA1 5 falls under Dartford, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,562 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,082 a month here against £2,352 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Dartford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £320,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,562 a month (£18,744 a year) works out at a 5.9% 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.

Of everything listed here, 33% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

What another bedroom costs in DA
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DA 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 | — | £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%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

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.
