In cash terms the typical DA16 3 home went from £63,800 in 1995 to £440,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 217%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. 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 DA16 3 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 2002 (+21.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.8%). 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 years (since 2025) | −7.4% | −9.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.2% | +1.4% |
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.
Sales activity in DA16 3
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 47 sales completed in DA16 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 192 sales a year before the financial crisis and 94 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.
The rental side of DA16 3
The local authority for DA16 3 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.
£1,528 a month is £18,336 a year, which against the £440,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. 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.
How DA16 3 trades
Only 47 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DA16 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £450,000 | £600,000 (+33%) | £800,000 (+33%) | £1,100,000 (+38%) |

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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
