DA14 5 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside DA14 (Sidcup). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical DA14 5 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £432,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 232%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 10% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DA14 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 2014 (+42.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−9.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DA14 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +10.9% | +8.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.7% | −0.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.4% | +1.6% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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 17 DA14 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 71 sales a year before the financial crisis and 43 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.
Reading the DA14 5 market
Only 17 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DA14 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within DA14, this sector trades 14% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around DA14 5
DA14 5 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.
Against the £432,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,528 a month (£18,336 a year) works out at a 4.2% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in DA: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the DA area, straight 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%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
