In cash terms the typical DA6 home went from £68,000 in 1995 to £405,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 174%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 22% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DA6 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 (+20.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.4%). 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) | −4.0% | −6.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.9% | −1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 35% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £770,000 against £267,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

Sales activity in DA6
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 118 sales completed in DA6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 207 sales a year before the financial crisis and 163 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 kind of market DA6 is
Only 118 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DA6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
The rental side of DA6
DA6 falls under Bexley, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,528 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Against the £405,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,528 a month (£18,336 a year) works out at a 4.5% 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.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 16% over five years in cash but down 9% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

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. 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
