How Down Road, Bristol prices moved
The chart tracks the median Down Road, Bristol house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2026. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 5 | £97,000 | £215,386 |
| 2000s | 9 | £209,975 | £382,513 |
| 2010s | 10 | £316,250 | £445,913 |
| 2020s | 6 | £485,000 | £495,543 |
The highest yearly median on record for Down Road, Bristol is £547,500 in 2025; the lowest is £85,750 in 1995. Across the full 32-year record the cash median has moved from £85,750 to £485,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £190,406, so the real change over the whole record is +154.7% — about +3.06% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +22.5% in cash against -12.3% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Down Road, Bristol values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Down Road, Bristol is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 288 | 75.2% | £306,000 | £30,000 – £925,000 |
| Semi-detached | 69 | 18.0% | £220,000 | £72,500 – £645,000 |
| Terraced | 21 | 5.5% | £240,000 | £57,000 – £426,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 5 | 1.3% | £183,000 | £143,000 – £210,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Down Road, Bristol
6 of the sales on record are leasehold and 377 freehold — 1.6% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £180,500 and the median freehold sale £283,000 — a gap of +56.8%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 6 | 1.6% | £180,500 |
| Freehold | 377 | 98.4% | £283,000 |
| New build | 11 | 2.9% | £215,000 |
| Existing home | 372 | 97.1% | £275,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -21.8%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 10 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Living in Down Road, Bristol
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across North Somerset, 49.0% of 111,679 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 4.4% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1,849 | 1.7% |
| B | 14,898 | 13.3% |
| C | 37,941 | 34.0% |
| D | 37,274 | 33.4% |
| E | 14,843 | 13.3% |
| F | 3,890 | 3.5% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in North Somerset at £1,201 a month as of Jun 2026 — £815 for a one-bedroom home and £1,336 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £275,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 5.24% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of BS20, 85 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 32 violent, 1 burglary, 3 vehicle-related and 11 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.0 times quieter.
Against the 216,726 residents the 2021 census counted in North Somerset, that is 0.39 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Down Road, Bristol
The 2021 census counted 216,726 residents in North Somerset across 94,648 households. 72.3% of those households own their home and 27.6% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
10 state and independent schools have a BS20 postcode: 8 primary, 2 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Down Road, Bristol compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Down Road, Bristol sits above that national figure — +74.6%.
Within Bristol the street ranks 1795 of 7849 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £180,000 (+52.8%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £30,000 to £925,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Down Road, Bristol sits in North Somerset, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in North Somerset at 9.0 times median local earnings of £34,838 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Down Road, Bristol?
The median price paid in Down Road, Bristol across every sale on the register is £275,000. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Down Road, Bristol?
383 sales are on record for Down Road, Bristol, the most recent completing on 27 May 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Down Road, Bristol house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +22.5% between 2016 and 2026. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -12.3%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Down Road, Bristol house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £547,500, set in 2025. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Down Road, Bristol?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 27 May 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
