In cash terms the typical CR2 8 home went from £83,500 in 1995 to £482,800 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 166%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CR2 8 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 (+20.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CR2 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.6% | −1.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 36 sales completed in CR2 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 203 sales a year before the financial crisis and 110 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 kind of market CR2 8 is
Only 36 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CR2 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What tenants pay around CR2 8
CR2 8 falls under Croydon, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,572 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,256 a month here against £2,654 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Croydon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £482,800 median sold price, £1,572 a month is £18,864 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in CR
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CR area. 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.
