Barnehurst market report DA7 4, Bexleyheath
The standing DA7 4 (Barnehurst) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 6,133 sales registered with HM Land Registry in DA7 4 (Bexleyheath) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 54 registered 2026 sales put the DA7 4 (Bexleyheath) median at £410,500, down 7% on five years earlier, with a mean of £415,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £5,200 per square metre over the last five years.

A postcode sector like DA7 4 is a single group of streets within DA7 (Bexleyheath), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

In cash terms the typical DA7 4 home went from £72,000 in 1995 to £410,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 162%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 27% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DA7 4 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 (+35.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−15.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DA7 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −15.4% | −17.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.4% | −5.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.1% | −2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in DA7 4
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 54 sales completed in DA7 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 253 sales a year before the financial crisis and 127 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 DA7 4
The local authority for DA7 4 is Bexley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,528 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,221 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,413, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Bexley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £410,500 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.
How DA7 4 trades
This is a thin market: 54 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. Within DA7, this sector trades 10% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

The price of an extra bedroom in DA
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.

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
