| 1995 | £71,000 | £154,343 | 227 |
In cash terms the typical DA12 4 home went from £71,000 in 1995 to £384,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 149%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 13% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DA12 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 2001 (+22.8% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−12.4%). 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) | −0.1% | −2.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.2% | −1.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
DA12 4 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 201 sales a year before the financial crisis and 124 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.
The shape of the DA12 4 market
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 DA12, this sector trades 14% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
The rental side of DA12 4
The local authority for DA12 4 is Gravesham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,328 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £904 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,069 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Gravesham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,328 a month is £15,936 a year, which against the £384,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: DA prices by size
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%) |
| Terraced | £312,000 | £364,000 (+17%) | £410,000 (+13%) | £499,997 (+22%) | £630,000 (+26%) |
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
