Stone market report DA2, Dartford
The DA2 (Stone) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. The raw material for this page is 11,967 HM Land Registry entries for DA2 (Dartford), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the typical home in DA2 (Dartford) sold for £395,000 in 2026, the median of 114 registered sales, up 7% on five years earlier. The mean was £418,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,720 per square metre over the last five years. The figures cover 11,967 sales recorded by HM Land Registry since 1995 and refresh with each monthly release: completed sale prices, not valuations or asking prices.
DA2 is the postcode district covering Dartford (east), Stone, Wilmington in Dartford. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

What DA2 homes really sell for
Take the 114 registered 2026 sales in DA2 and the middle price, the median, is £395,000. The mean lands at £418,600, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.
DA2 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of DA2 sales average about £4,720 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so DA2 trades 39% above the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical DA2 home went from £62,400 in 1995 to £395,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 191%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DA2 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 (+25.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−4.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DA2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.2% | −3.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.2% |
| 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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 32% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £650,000 against £248,500 for a flat, 2.6 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.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 244 sales completed in DA2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 510 sales a year before the financial crisis and 256 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.
What tenants pay around DA2
The local authority for DA2 is Dartford, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,562 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,082 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,352 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Dartford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £395,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,562 a month (£18,744 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 7% over five years in cash but down 15% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
DA2's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in DA2 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 1 home on the market right now, from an agent publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 191% above the DA2 median sold price.
100% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

Moving up a bedroom in DA: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the DA area. 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%) |
| Semi-detached | £341,500 | £410,000 (+20%) | £480,000 (+17%) | £600,000 (+25%) | £712,500 (+19%) |
| Terraced | £312,000 | £364,000 (+17%) | £410,000 (+13%) | £499,997 (+22%) | £630,000 (+26%) |
| Flat | £217,500 | £287,995 (+32%) | £339,997 (+18%) | — | — |
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.
