In cash terms the typical E2 7 home went from £65,000 in 1995 to £520,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 268%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2016; the current median sits about 37% below that. Someone who bought at the 2016 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the E2 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 2002 (+37.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2021 (−15.0%). 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) | −6.4% | −8.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.1% | −4.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.3% | −4.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
Sales activity in E2 7
The year-by-year sales count
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 35 E2 7 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 139 sales a year before the financial crisis and 63 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.
The shape of the E2 7 market
This is a thin market: 35 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 homes rent for around E2 7
E2 7 falls under Tower Hamlets, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £520,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.6%. 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 price of an extra bedroom in E
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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
