Average sold price in Bristol
Completed sales around Bristol averaged £267,500 over twelve months. That is the figure to argue from when buying, selling or refinancing.
Across the last twelve months completed sales are 9.8% lower than a year earlier. Over five years they are 12.4% lower than five years earlier, which is closer to the period most landlords actually hold a property for.
Bristol has a tight supply of homes to rent and tenants who move within the city rather than out of it. Terraced streets close to the centre carry the strongest year round demand.
Sold prices by property type in Bristol
Flats, terraces and family houses behave as separate markets in Bristol, and each is averaged separately below. The number of sales behind each figure is shown beside it, so you can see how firm it is before you lean on it.

Prices and rents by district in Bristol
District matters twice over for a landlord: it sets what you pay and it sets what you can charge. The districts below are the Bristol postcode areas with enough homes advertised to give a fair rental average, which is the side of the sum most buyers guess at.
| District | Average rent a month |
|---|---|
| BS7 | £1,965 |
| BS8 | £1,900 |
| BS1 | £1,565 |
| BS6 | £1,550 |
| BS3 | £1,545 |
| BS5 | £1,480 |
Put the two halves together before you buy: the rent a district actually achieves against the price a district actually commands. That is the yield, and it is the only number that tells you whether a purchase works.
The five year trend in Bristol
The table below is the price series our data supplier holds for the area, one row a year, with the movement across each year beside it. It is the same series the valuation on your own report is anchored against, which is why a report can say what your home is worth today from what it sold for years ago.
| Period | Average price | Movement |
|---|---|---|
| Sep 2020 | £335,375 | no change recorded |
| Sep 2021 | £333,241 | 0.6% lower than a year earlier |
| Sep 2022 | £273,971 | 17.8% lower than a year earlier |
| Sep 2023 | £287,302 | 4.9% higher than a year earlier |
| Sep 2024 | £303,652 | 5.7% higher than a year earlier |
| Sep 2025 | £325,699 | 7.3% higher than a year earlier |
| Sep 2026 | £293,932 | 9.8% lower than a year earlier |
A trend is a description of the past, not a promise. What it is genuinely useful for is a sanity check: if the price you are being asked to pay assumes a rise the last five years never delivered, you are buying someone else's optimism.
What it means for a landlord in Bristol
A year of rent against value is specific to a property, and your free report works out yours.
Gross yield is not what you keep. Out of it come management, safety certificates, insurance, repairs and any empty weeks between tenants. The report on your own address sets the rent it can achieve against what the home is worth, so you are looking at your property rather than an area.
If you already own here and want the running of it taken off your hands, the management page for Bristol sets out what a high street agent charges on the area's real average rent against what Caso charges for the same work.
