In cash terms the typical DA7 home went from £73,000 in 1995 to £460,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 190%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. 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 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 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DA7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −4.2% | −6.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.8% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.3% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.8% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 53% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £535,000 against £274,800 for a flat, 1.9 times the price.

Transaction volumes
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.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 335 sales completed in DA7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 687 sales a year before the financial crisis and 383 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.
The rental side of DA7
For renting purposes DA7 sits in Bexley. The ONS average private rent there is £1,528 a month (May 2026). 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 £460,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.0%. 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.

Month by month: when DA7 sells
March is when DA7 changes hands most (11.8% of the 2,333 sales dated 2021 to 2025); April is the quiet end at 5.9%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025

|---|---|---|
| January | 177 | 7.6% |
| February | 191 | 8.2% |

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. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £430,000 | £465,500 (+8%) | £556,250 (+19%) | £670,750 (+21%) | £850,000 (+27%) |
| Semi-detached | £320,000 | £400,000 (+25%) | £450,000 (+13%) | £535,995 (+19%) | £625,000 (+17%) |
| Terraced | £291,000 | £338,500 (+16%) | £378,000 (+12%) | £445,000 (+18%) | £510,000 (+15%) |
| Flat | £205,000 | £270,000 (+32%) | £315,000 (+17%) | — | — |
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.
