The going rate for a home in SE20 7
The 2026 median for SE20 7 is £447,800, taken from 66 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £460,400, nearly identical to it, meaning sales cluster closely around the typical figure.
What a square metre costs in SE20 7
Measured by floor area, the last five years of SE20 7 sales average about £5,980 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so SE20 7 trades 57% above the country as a whole.
SE20 7's median sold price, 1995 to 2026
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical SE20 7 home went from £56,000 in 1995 to £447,800 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 268%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 22% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SE20 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 2001 (+22.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−11.7%). 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) | −7.7% | −9.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.3% | −4.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.2% | +1.3% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
SE20 7 recorded 66 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 303 sales a year before the financial crisis and 129 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of SE20 7
SE20 7 falls under Bromley, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,675 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,304 a month here against £2,915 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Bromley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £447,800 median sold price, £1,675 a month is £20,100 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: 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.

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 22% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
What you could buy in SE20 now
The live side of the market holds 29 homes at the moment, listed by 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SE20 district, not just SE20 7: live asking prices are collected per district.
39% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

What another bedroom costs in SE
Real sold prices by size across the SE area, straight 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%) |

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.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
