The raw material for this page is 4,346 HM Land Registry entries for E7 0 (London), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS.

Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: 31 registered 2026 sales put the E7 0 (London) median at £595,000, up 2% on five years earlier, with a mean of £649,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £6,850 per square metre over the last five years.

A postcode sector like E7 0 is a single group of streets within E7 (London), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

In cash terms the typical E7 0 home went from £50,500 in 1995 to £595,000 in 2026, roughly 12 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 442%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the E7 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 (+30.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What E7 0 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.8% | −4.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 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
Sales per year, counted
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 31 sales completed in E7 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 200 sales a year before the financial crisis and 86 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 E7 0 market
Only 31 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes E7 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the E7 district median, E7 0 sits 19% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around E7 0
E7 0 falls under Newham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,923 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,626 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,664, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Newham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £595,000 median sold price, £1,923 a month is £23,076 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: 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 happens to E7 0 prices now?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
What you could buy in E7 now
Turning to what is actually available: 110 homes on the market right now, from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole E7 district, not just E7 0: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 24% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

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. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
