In cash terms the typical SE18 2 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £433,800 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 291%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 11% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SE18 2 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 2000 (+24.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.5%). 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) | +2.1% | −0.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.6% | +1.8% |
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 SE18 2
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 30 SE18 2 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 186 sales a year before the financial crisis and 73 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.
The rental side of SE18 2
SE18 2 falls under Greenwich, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,952 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,529 a month here against £2,941 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Greenwich
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,952 a month is £23,424 a year, which against the £433,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.4%. 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.
How SE18 2 trades
This is a thin market: 30 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.

What another bedroom costs in SE
Real sold prices by size across the SE area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
