In cash terms the typical DA4 9 home went from £61,500 in 1995 to £320,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 139%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 22% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DA4 9 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 2001 (+34.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−21.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.6% | −8.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in DA4 9
How many homes change hands
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.
DA4 9 recorded 33 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 131 sales a year before the financial crisis and 86 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 DA4 9
The local authority for DA4 9 is Sevenoaks, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,790 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,252 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,926, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Sevenoaks
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,790 a month is £21,480 a year, which against the £320,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.7%. 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 DA4 9 is
This is a thin market: 33 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the DA4 district median, DA4 9 sits 16% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

These cover the whole DA4 district, not just DA4 9: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 17% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Moving up a bedroom in DA: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the DA area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
