Dartford market commentary
What the latest official data may mean for buyers, renters and investors.
Dartford’s latest UK House Price Index reading for June 2026 puts the average home price at £351,594. That is a solid rise of 2.8% on the month and 3.8% higher than a year earlier.
It also leaves values above the levels seen through much of late 2025 and early 2026, after a fairly uneven run.
Dartford’s average private rent stood at £1,570 in July 2026, according to the ONS Price Index of Private Rents. That was up from £1,566 in June, so rents rose by £4 month on month.
It was also 3.0% higher than a year earlier, when the average was £1,524. The monthly increase was modest.
Dartford’s latest ONS and Nomis labour-market profile points to a relatively strong local earnings and employment picture. The city had a resident population of 126,297 in 2025, so these figures matter for a sizeable working-age community rather than a small sample.
