In cash terms the typical SE18 6 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £407,500 in 2026, roughly 11 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 393%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2019, and today's median remains roughly 36% under it: a 2019 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SE18 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 (+74.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−17.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.1% | −11.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.4% | −6.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.0% | −2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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 6
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 76 SE18 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 274 sales a year over the last five years against 206 before the financial crisis. 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.
What tenants pay around SE18 6
For renting purposes SE18 6 sits in Greenwich. The ONS average private rent there is £1,952 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,529 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,941 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Greenwich
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £407,500 median sold price, £1,952 a month is £23,424 a year, a gross yield of 5.7%: 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.

22% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

Bedroom by bedroom: SE prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SE 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 | — | £516,250 | £795,000 (+54%) | £1,325,000 (+67%) | £2,025,000 (+53%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
