The going rate for a home in CR7 7
The 2026 median for CR7 7 is £416,000, taken from 37 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £369,500, below it, which usually means a cluster of very cheap recorded transfers is dragging the average down.
House prices per square metre in CR7 7

In cash terms the typical CR7 7 home went from £54,200 in 1995 to £416,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 253%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 16% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CR7 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 2000 (+27.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.4%). 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) | +4.0% | +1.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 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.
How many homes change hands in CR7 7
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 37 CR7 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 317 sales a year before the financial crisis and 101 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.
Rents around CR7 7
CR7 7 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 £416,000 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 CR7 7 market
This is a thin market: 37 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.

Real searches this page gets asked
A lot of searches that reach this page are full postcodes, CR7 7RD among them. A full postcode is a street segment of a dozen or so homes, below even sector level; the medians on this page are the context, and the live map shows every recorded sale at those exact addresses.
Search phrases quoted verbatim from Google Search Console for this site (last 16 months); each is answered from the page's own Land Registry figures.
Will CR7 7 prices rise from here?
Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is up 10% over five years in cash but down 13% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

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. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £499,999 | £675,000 (+35%) | £885,000 (+31%) | £1,150,000 (+30%) |
