In cash terms the typical DA16 1 home went from £68,000 in 1995 to £476,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 222%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 11% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DA16 1 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 2000 (+22.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DA16 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.5% | +1.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +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
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 40 DA16 1 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 238 sales a year before the financial crisis and 122 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.
How DA16 1 trades
Only 40 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DA16 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What tenants pay around DA16 1
The local authority for DA16 1 is Bexley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,528 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,221 a month here against £2,413 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Bexley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £476,000 median sold price, £1,528 a month is £18,336 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: 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 another bedroom costs in DA
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DA area, 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 | — | £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%) |
