improving, held with established confidence, formed on 31 August 2026 from movements in 2026-07.
The average house price in Bromley was £525,007 in April 2026, and 272 homes were sold in March. Rents rose across the period: a two-bedroom home cost £1,630 a month in April, £1,632 in May and £1,638 in July, while a home with four or more bedrooms cost £2,909 in March and £2,918 in June. Households served a no-fault eviction notice and owed a prevention duty fell to 27 in the first quarter of 2026. Rents rose on both property types published while eviction notices fell.
A view is formed only where the evidence names a figure you can check. Each movement listed as a reason had to be large enough to matter and distinctive in at least one way — unusual against this area's own history, unusual against comparable areas, or sustained over several periods. A movement shared with peers counts for less, because it says something about the country rather than about Bromley. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.

These figures carry no defensible direction of their own: a rising house price is good news to an owner and bad news to someone trying to buy, so we do not score one as an improvement. They are shown because they are part of the picture, and they did not decide the view above.
