In cash terms the typical CR7 6 home went from £62,000 in 1995 to £465,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 245%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CR7 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 2015 (+24.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−19.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.9% | +4.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +1.0% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
CR7 6 recorded 17 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 121 sales a year before the financial crisis and 41 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.
The rental side of CR7 6
The local authority for CR7 6 is Croydon, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
£1,572 a month is £18,864 a year, which against the £465,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
What kind of market CR7 6 is
This is a thin market: 17 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Against the CR7 district median, CR7 6 sits 12% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Moving up a bedroom in CR: the cost
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.
