Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Fens Way, Swanley 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 33 | 53.2% | £214,000 | £72,000 – £450,000 |
| Terraced | 26 | 41.9% | £245,000 | £61,000 – £392,000 |
| Detached | 3 | 4.8% | £175,500 | £59,995 – £176,500 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Fens Way, Swanley
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 62 freehold — 0.0% 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.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 62 | 100.0% | £217,000 |
A further 3 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 Fens Way, Swanley
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Bromley, 40.3% of 149,776 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.7% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Bromley at £1,678 a month as of Jun 2026 — £1,306 for a one-bedroom home and £1,982 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £217,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 9.28% 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 BR8, 152 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 52 violent, 7 burglary, 7 vehicle-related and 27 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is about typical.
Against the 329,992 residents the 2021 census counted in Bromley, that is 0.46 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 Fens Way, Swanley
The 2021 census counted 329,992 residents in Bromley across 135,828 households. 69.3% of those households own their home and 30.6% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
9 state and independent schools have a BR8 postcode: 8 primary, 1 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Fens Way, Swanley compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Fens Way, Swanley sits above that national figure — +37.8%.
Within Swanley the street ranks 118 of 223 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £206,000 (+5.3%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £3,641 per square metre, across 3 of the 62 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £59,995 to £450,000. 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.
Fens Way, Swanley sits in Bromley, in the South East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Bromley at 12.1 times median local earnings of £43,474 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.
