In cash terms the typical DA7 5 home went from £80,000 in 1995 to £491,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 182%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 17% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DA7 5 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 1998 (+25.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DA7 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.7% | −6.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
Sales activity in DA7 5
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.
The register shows 59 DA7 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 196 sales a year before the financial crisis and 118 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.
How DA7 5 trades
This is a thin market: 59 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 8% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What tenants pay around DA7 5
For renting purposes DA7 5 sits in Bexley. The ONS average private rent there is £1,528 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,221 a month here against £2,413 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £491,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.7%. 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 another bedroom costs in DA
Real sold prices by size across the DA area, straight 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.
