In cash terms the typical E4 6 home went from £69,000 in 1995 to £490,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 227%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the E4 6 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 (+28.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.5%). 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) | +0.8% | −1.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in E4 6
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.
E4 6 recorded 61 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 332 sales a year before the financial crisis and 148 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 E4 6
E4 6 falls under Waltham Forest, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £490,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. 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
Real sold prices by size across the E area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
