In cash terms the typical SE4 2 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £567,500 in 2026, roughly 13 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 480%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SE4 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 2001 (+29.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.3%). 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) | +9.9% | +7.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +5.4% | +2.5% |
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.
How many homes change hands in SE4 2
How many homes change hands
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.
SE4 2 recorded 44 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 205 sales a year before the financial crisis and 115 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.
How SE4 2 trades
Only 44 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SE4 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
Rents around SE4 2
The local authority for SE4 2 is Lewisham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £567,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. 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.

Is SE4 2 (Brockley) a good place to buy a house?

What you could buy in SE4 now
This is what you could actually buy today: 5 homes currently on the market from 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SE4 district, not just SE4 2: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 40% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
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.

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.
Moving up a bedroom in SE: the cost
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
