Cotham property market: common questions
Where is Cotham?
Cotham is in central Bristol. Figures for Cotham cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
What is the average house price in Cotham?
The median asking price across the 260 homes for sale in Cotham is £335,000 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £257,500 and £450,000. That is 4% below Bristol. Homes that actually sold in Cotham went for a median £375,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).
Are house prices in Cotham rising or falling?
Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Cotham is up 36% over the last 10 years and up 4% over the last 12 months (12 months to February 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Cotham cheaper than Bristol?
Yes: asking prices in Cotham are typically lower than across Bristol. The median asking price in Cotham is £335,000 against £350k across Bristol: 4% below Bristol. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. Entry-level prices are close to Bristol's.

How much do flats and houses cost in Cotham?
The median asking price for a flat in Cotham is £320,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £800,000 across 25 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Cotham?
The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Cotham is £350,000, across 112 current listings.

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (260 in Cotham), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Cotham cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Cotham since May 2026.
- Bristol comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Bristol, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to February 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to August 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
