| 1996 | £55,000 | £115,993 | 164 |
| 1995 | £53,800 | £116,953 | 174 |
In cash terms the typical DA8 2 home went from £53,800 in 1995 to £370,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 216%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DA8 2 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 (+29.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2021 (−10.4%). 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 years (since 2025) | +5.1% | +2.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.3% | −0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.4% | +1.6% |
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.
Sales activity in DA8 2
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.
DA8 2 recorded 25 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 236 sales a year before the financial crisis and 77 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.
Reading the DA8 2 market
This is a thin market: 25 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
What tenants pay around DA8 2
DA8 2 falls under Bexley, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £370,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.0%. 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.

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.
