DA14 prices by floor area

In cash terms the typical DA14 home went from £66,000 in 1995 to £412,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 188%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 13% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DA14 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 (+27.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−5.8%). 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 year (since 2025) | +1.1% | −1.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.1% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 43% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £1,050,000 against £275,000 for a flat, 3.8 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 219 sales completed in DA14. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 473 sales a year before the financial crisis and 287 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 DA14
The local authority for DA14 is Bexley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £412,500 median sold price, £1,528 a month is £18,336 a year, a gross yield of 4.4%: 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.

What happens to DA14 prices now?
The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 10% over five years in cash but down 13% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
DA14's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in DA14 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 15 homes on the market right now, from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 31% below the DA14 median sold price.
At the pace of the last twelve months' registered sales (219 in DA14), the 15 homes listed here amount to about 4 weeks of supply. Not every agent publishes to HomesIndex, so the true figure is higher. That is a thin shelf: buyers here are choosing from little, and a well priced home is unlikely to wait long.
0% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
When homes in DA14 change hands
March is when DA14 changes hands most (10.9% of the 1,758 sales dated 2021 to 2025); December is the quiet end at 6.7%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 120 | 6.8% |
| February | 157 | 8.9% |

Moving up a bedroom in DA: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the DA area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £430,000 | £465,500 (+8%) | £556,250 (+19%) | £670,750 (+21%) | £850,000 (+27%) |
| Semi-detached | £320,000 | £400,000 (+25%) | £450,000 (+13%) | £535,995 (+19%) | £625,000 (+17%) |
| Terraced | £291,000 | £338,500 (+16%) | £378,000 (+12%) | £445,000 (+18%) | £510,000 (+15%) |
| Flat | £205,000 | £270,000 (+32%) | £315,000 (+17%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
