In cash terms the typical DA7 6 home went from £65,000 in 1995 to £442,200 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 213%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DA7 6 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 (+23.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +2.2% | −0.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.9% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.4% | +1.5% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
DA7 6 recorded 58 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 238 sales a year before the financial crisis and 134 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.
Rents around DA7 6
The local authority for DA7 6 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.
£1,528 a month is £18,336 a year, which against the £442,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. 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.
The shape of the DA7 6 market
This is a thin market: 58 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.

Moving up a bedroom in DA: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DA area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £430,000 | £465,500 (+8%) | £556,250 (+19%) | £670,750 (+21%) | £850,000 (+27%) |

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
