In cash terms the typical CR2 7 home went from £64,000 in 1995 to £420,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 202%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2024; the current median sits about 24% below that. Someone who bought at the 2024 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CR2 7 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 2024 (+44.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−11.3%). 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) | −8.9% | −11.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +1.0% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in CR2 7
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 50 CR2 7 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 240 sales a year before the financial crisis and 122 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What tenants pay around CR2 7
For renting purposes CR2 7 sits in Croydon. The ONS average private rent there is £1,572 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,256 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,654, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Croydon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £420,000 median sold price, £1,572 a month is £18,864 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: 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.
Reading the CR2 7 market
Only 50 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CR2 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

Is CR2 7 (Sanderstead) a good place to buy a house?

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 11% over five years in cash but down 12% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Moving up a bedroom in CR: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CR area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £499,999 | £675,000 (+35%) | £885,000 (+31%) | £1,150,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £365,000 | £435,000 (+19%) | £533,000 (+23%) | £650,000 (+22%) | £775,000 (+19%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
