In cash terms the typical SE16 6 home went from £73,200 in 1995 to £525,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 230%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2016; the current median sits about 33% 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 SE16 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 1999 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.0%). 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) | −6.6% | −8.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.2% | −4.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.6% | −3.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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 SE16 6
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.
The register shows 19 SE16 6 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 123 sales a year before the financial crisis and 48 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.
How SE16 6 trades
This is a thin market: 19 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. Against the SE16 district median, SE16 6 sits 17% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
Rents around SE16 6
For renting purposes SE16 6 sits in Southwark. The ONS average private rent there is £2,394 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,814 a month here against £3,491 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Southwark
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£2,394 a month is £28,728 a year, which against the £525,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.5%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SE prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SE area, 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £516,250 | £795,000 (+54%) | £1,325,000 (+67%) | £2,025,000 (+53%) |
| Semi-detached | £375,000 | £480,000 (+28%) | £613,025 (+28%) | £870,000 (+42%) | £1,390,000 (+60%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
