House prices per square metre in SE19 2

In cash terms the typical SE19 2 home went from £47,000 in 1995 to £430,000 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 321%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 26% 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 SE19 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 2002 (+27.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−19.9%). 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) | +1.9% | −0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.2% | −4.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.5% | +1.7% |
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.
Sales activity in SE19 2
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 45 SE19 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 251 sales a year before the financial crisis and 138 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 SE19 2
For renting purposes SE19 2 sits in Croydon. The ONS average private rent there is £1,572 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,256 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,654 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Croydon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,572 a month is £18,864 a year, which against the £430,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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.
What kind of market SE19 2 is
This is a thin market: 45 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.

Moving up a bedroom in SE: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SE area, from the Land Registry record. 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%) |
| Semi-detached | £375,000 | £480,000 (+28%) | £613,025 (+28%) | £870,000 (+42%) | £1,390,000 (+60%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
