In cash terms the typical E16 1 home went from £36,000 in 1995 to £358,800 in 2026, roughly 10 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 358%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 43% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the E16 1 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 1996 (+130.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−24.0%). 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) | −18.4% | −20.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −6.3% | −10.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.9% | −4.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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.
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.
E16 1 recorded 72 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 214 sales a year recently, against 263 a year before 2008. 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.
The rental side of E16 1
For renting purposes E16 1 sits in Newham. The ONS average private rent there is £1,923 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,626 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,664, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Newham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,923 a month is £23,076 a year, which against the £358,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.4%. 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.
How E16 1 trades
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.

What you could buy in E16 now

These cover the whole E16 district, not just E16 1: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 37% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in E
Real sold prices by size across the E area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £545,000 | £820,000 (+50%) | £1,197,500 (+46%) | — |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
