Silvertown market report E16 4, London
The standing E16 4 (Silvertown) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 2,352 registered sales in E16 4 (London) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: 14 registered 2026 sales put the E16 4 (London) median at £418,500, up 9% on five years earlier, with a mean of £398,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £5,730 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 2,352 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
E16 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside E16 (London). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical E16 4 home went from £39,500 in 1995 to £418,500 in 2026, roughly 11 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 387%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2025, and today's median remains roughly 22% under it: a 2025 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the E16 4 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 2002 (+49.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−26.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What E16 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −20.6% | −22.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.5% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
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, 14 sales completed in E16 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 120 sales a year before the financial crisis and 58 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market E16 4 is
This is a thin market: 14 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. 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. Within E16, this sector trades 12% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What homes rent for around E16 4
The local authority for E16 4 is Newham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,923 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,626 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,664 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £418,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.5%. 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 another bedroom costs in E
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the E 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.
