Bethnal Green market report E2 0, London
The E2 0 (Bethnal Green) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 4,299 sales registered with HM Land Registry in E2 0 (London) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here 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: 41 registered 2026 sales put the E2 0 (London) median at £472,500, up 7% on five years earlier, with a mean of £496,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £7,490 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,299 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
E2 0 is one sector of E2 (London): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

In cash terms the typical E2 0 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £472,500 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 326%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 32% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the E2 0 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 (+33.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−14.6%). 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) | +5.0% | +2.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.2% | −3.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +1.1% |
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 E2 0
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
E2 0 recorded 41 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 213 sales a year before the financial crisis and 70 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.
Reading the E2 0 market
This is a thin market: 41 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.
What tenants pay around E2 0
The local authority for E2 0 is Tower Hamlets, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £2,419 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,964 a month here against £3,335 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Tower Hamlets
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£2,419 a month is £29,028 a year, which against the £472,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.1%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in E: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the E area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £545,000 | £820,000 (+50%) | £1,197,500 (+46%) | — |
| Semi-detached | £435,000 | £530,000 (+22%) | £650,000 (+23%) | £900,000 (+38%) | £1,205,000 (+34%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
