Bedminster Property Market: House Prices, Sold Data & Development Finance, Q3 2026 Edition

Bedminster: South Bristol regeneration area with former industrial sites and growing creative quarter.

The Bedminster property market recorded 6,824 residential sales in the 12 months to 31 May 2026, with a median sale price of £347,000. This places Bedminster £12k above the Bristol county median of £335,000, and £62k above the approximate UK median of £285,000.

Prices in Bedminster have shown modest growth, a year-on-year change of +2.1%. Within Bristol, Bedminster ranks 2nd by price out of 6 principal towns, and 1st by transaction volume.

On a quarterly view, Bedminster median prices moved from £340,000 in Q3 2024 to £342,500 in Q4 2025, a change of +0.7% over 5 quarters. The most recent quarter is excluded because HM Land Registry registrations for it are still incomplete.

Bedminster shares a HM Land Registry reporting district with neighbouring towns, and the source data does not distinguish Bedminster-specific sales from the wider district. The figures above reflect the whole shared district rather than Bedminster alone.

Bristol City Council, the local planning authority covering Bedminster, approved 478 residential planning applications and refused 132 in the last 12 months, with 260 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 78%.

Those applications propose around 1,139 homes, an estimated £374.6m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.

Bristol City Council covers more than one town in Bristol, so these figures are authority-wide rather than specific to Bedminster alone.

Across the wider Bristol market, 155 new-build sales have registered so far. See our Bristol property market report for the full county picture.
