In cash terms the typical E17 7 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £509,900 in 2026, roughly 10 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 369%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2019; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2019 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the E17 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 2014 (+25.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.0%). 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) | −3.2% | −5.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +5.1% | +2.2% |
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
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.
E17 7 recorded 53 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 231 sales a year before the financial crisis and 133 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.
What tenants pay around E17 7
The local authority for E17 7 is Waltham Forest, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,763 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,400 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,568, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Waltham Forest
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,763 a month is £21,156 a year, which against the £509,900 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.
The shape of the E17 7 market
This is a thin market: 53 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. Within E17, this sector trades 10% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

The price of an extra bedroom in E
What homes of each size actually sold for across the E 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.

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