Woolwich market report SE18 7, London
The SE18 7 (Woolwich) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. This page is built from the public record and nothing else: 2,923 completed sales registered with HM Land Registry in SE18 7 (London) since 1995, plus current ONS rental figures. There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the 2026 median for SE18 7 (London) is £405,000, from 13 registered sales, up 17% on five years earlier; the mean is £377,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,630 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 2,923 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
SE18 7 is one sector of SE18 (London): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

Take the 13 registered 2026 sales in SE18 7 and the middle price, the median, is £405,000. The mean lands at £377,500, below it, which usually means a cluster of very cheap recorded transfers is dragging the average down.
What a square metre costs in SE18 7

| 1996 | £39,500 | £83,304 | 94 |
| 1995 | £44,000 | £95,649 | 73 |
In cash terms the typical SE18 7 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £405,000 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 323%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 9% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SE18 7 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 (+32.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.4%). 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) | +2.5% | +0.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.3% | −1.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.4% | +1.6% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 13 sales completed in SE18 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 149 sales a year before the financial crisis and 46 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.
The rental side of SE18 7
The local authority for SE18 7 is Greenwich, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,952 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,529 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,941, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £405,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.8%. 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 7 trades
Only 13 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SE18 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

What you could buy in SE18 now
The live side of the market holds 36 homes at the moment, listed by 11 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SE18 district, not just SE18 7: live asking prices are collected per district.
22% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
"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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
The price of an extra bedroom 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.

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