In cash terms the typical CR2 6 home went from £58,800 in 1995 to £375,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 193%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CR2 6 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2000 (+35.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.0% | −1.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in CR2 6
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
CR2 6 recorded 55 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 345 sales a year before the financial crisis and 139 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around CR2 6
CR2 6 falls under Croydon, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,572 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,256 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,654 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Croydon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £375,000 median sold price, £1,572 a month is £18,864 a year, a gross yield of 5.0%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How CR2 6 trades
Only 55 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CR2 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within CR2, this sector trades 17% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Bedroom by bedroom: CR prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CR area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
