In cash terms the typical DA18 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £270,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 189%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2018, and today's median remains roughly 40% under it: a 2018 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DA18 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 2018 (+50.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−31.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 79% of the typed total.

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 last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
DA18 recorded 16 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 46 sales a year before the financial crisis and 10 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.
What tenants pay around DA18
For renting purposes DA18 sits in Bexley. The ONS average private rent there is £1,528 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,221 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,413 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £270,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.8%. 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.
What kind of market DA18 is
This is a thin market: 16 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. By median price DA18 sits at the bottom of its postcode area: the cheapest way in, with the least expectation already in the price.

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%) |

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.
