In cash terms the typical E17 4 home went from £59,000 in 1995 to £642,500 in 2026, roughly 11 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 401%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 10% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the E17 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 2000 (+32.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−13.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +13.7% | +11.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +5.4% | +2.5% |
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
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.
The register shows 66 E17 4 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 375 sales a year before the financial crisis and 175 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.
The rental side of E17 4
For renting purposes E17 4 sits in Waltham Forest. The ONS average private rent there is £1,763 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,400 a month here against £2,568 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Waltham Forest
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £642,500 median sold price, £1,763 a month is £21,156 a year, a gross yield of 3.3%: 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.
What kind of market E17 4 is
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 E17, this sector trades 14% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

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.

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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
