In cash terms the typical DA8 home went from £54,000 in 1995 to £365,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 211%, 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 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DA8 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 (+27.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−5.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.4% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.3% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 42% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £512,500 against £225,000 for a flat, 2.3 times the price.

Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
DA8 recorded 246 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 748 sales a year before the financial crisis and 285 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.
What homes rent for around DA8
The local authority for DA8 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.
Set against the £365,000 median sold price, £1,528 a month is £18,336 a year, a gross yield of 5.0%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

What happens to DA8 prices now?

DA8's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in DA8 sold for. The live side of the market holds 11 homes at the moment, listed by 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 10% above the DA8 median sold price.
DA8 registered 246 sales in the last twelve months; the 11 homes listed now would take about 2 weeks to clear at that rate. The count covers agents publishing to HomesIndex, so the real stock is larger. That is a thin shelf: buyers here are choosing from little, and a well priced home is unlikely to wait long.
20% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
When homes in DA8 change hands
September is when DA8 changes hands most (10.6% of the 1,801 sales dated 2021 to 2025); January is the quiet end at 6.4%. 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
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 116 | 6.4% |
| February | 138 | 7.7% |
| March | 178 | 9.9% |
| April | 129 | 7.2% |

What another bedroom costs in DA
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DA area, 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.
| 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.
