Hotwells property market: common questions
Where is Hotwells?
Hotwells is in central Bristol. Figures for Hotwells 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 Hotwells?
The median asking price across the 238 homes for sale in Hotwells is £425,000 (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 £325,000 and £643,750. That is 21% above Bristol. Homes that actually sold in Hotwells went for a median £390,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).
Are house prices in Hotwells rising or falling?
Rising over the long run, flat over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Hotwells is up 27% over the last 10 years and broadly flat 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 Hotwells cheaper than Bristol?
No: asking prices in Hotwells are typically higher than across Bristol. The median asking price in Hotwells is £425,000 against £350k across Bristol: 21% above Bristol. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The premium holds from the lower end to the top of the market.

40 listings in Hotwells had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 17% of the homes currently for sale.
How long are homes on the market in Hotwells?
Of the Hotwells listings that came off the market in the last 30 days and that we first saw after we began tracking the area, the typical one had been advertised for 72 days. Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.
How much do flats and houses cost in Hotwells?
The median asking price for a flat in Hotwells is £350,000. 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 £795,000 across 47 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (238 in Hotwells), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Hotwells 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 Hotwells since November 2025.
- 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.
