Brockley market report SE4 1, London
The standing SE4 1 (Brockley) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Everything below comes from 8,361 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in SE4 1 (London) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 82 registered 2026 sales put the SE4 1 (London) median at £552,500, down 3% on five years earlier, with a mean of £609,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £7,480 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 8,361 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
A postcode sector like SE4 1 is a single group of streets within SE4 (London), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

In cash terms the typical SE4 1 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £552,500 in 2026, roughly 10 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 338%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 28% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SE4 1 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 (+30.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−9.4%). 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) | −9.3% | −11.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.6% | −5.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.2% | −2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.4% | +1.5% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in SE4 1
The year-by-year sales count
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 82 SE4 1 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 352 sales a year before the financial crisis and 178 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.
Rents around SE4 1
SE4 1 falls under Lewisham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,821 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,450 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,705, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Lewisham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,821 a month is £21,852 a year, which against the £552,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.0%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SE prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the SE area, straight 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
