A complete guide to property investment in Bromley.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Bromley sits comfortably in London’s leafy suburbs, offering investors a blend of long-term stability and healthy rental demand. The area’s property market has shown resilience, with capital growth over three years of 3.8% and an annualised growth of 1.2% — not headline-grabbing, but a mark of steady performance. Prices are typical for outer London, with a median price per square foot of £515 per sq ft, and families dominate the local demographic, sitting in the 91st percentile nationally. Rental yields are competitive for London, standing at 5.4%, which speaks to a consistent tenant base and solid returns.
Liquidity is reasonable, with homes spending an average of 64 days on the market and annual sales at 1,209, so investors shouldn’t expect to be stuck with a property if they need to move on. Affordability is what you’d expect for the capital, with a price-to-income ratio of 6.8 and a rent-to-income ratio of 28.3%, both well within the London norm but high by national standards.

The outlook for Bromley is one of stable, reliable performance rather than dramatic growth. Given the annualised growth over three years of 1.2% and the area’s appeal to families and professionals, expect demand to remain robust. Investors can take comfort in the area’s steady rental yields and liquidity, as properties are not languishing on the market for excessive periods.
While affordability remains a concern, this is par for the course in London and does little to dent Bromley’s long-term appeal. In the next twelve months, expect more of the same: modest price movements, sustained rental demand, and a market that rewards patience and realistic expectations.
