In cash terms the typical SE27 0 home went from £60,200 in 1995 to £552,000 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 322%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2019; the current median sits about 25% below that. Someone who bought at the 2019 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SE27 0 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 (+32.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−10.7%). 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) | −2.3% | −4.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.2% | −4.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.1% | −2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.8% | +2.0% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Sales activity in SE27 0
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 37 sales completed in SE27 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 250 sales a year before the financial crisis and 114 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.
What kind of market SE27 0 is
This is a thin market: 37 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 tenants pay around SE27 0
SE27 0 falls under Lambeth, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,527 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,882 a month for a typical one-bed to £3,725 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Lambeth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £552,000 median purchase price, a rent of £2,527 a month (£30,324 a year) works out at a 5.5% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

The price of an extra bedroom 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
