In cash terms the typical SE4 home went from £54,000 in 1995 to £562,500 in 2026, roughly 10 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 379%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 24% 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 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 2014 (+30.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−4.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 52% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £922,500 against £452,500 for a flat, 2.0 times the price.

Annualised returns

|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.9% | −1.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.1% | −4.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.7% | +1.8% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 268 SE4 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 556 sales a year before the financial crisis and 293 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.
How SE4 trades
Among the 28 measurable districts of its area, SE4 ranks 4 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
What homes rent for around SE4
SE4 falls under Lewisham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,821 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,450 a month here against £2,705 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Lewisham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £562,500 median sold price, £1,821 a month is £21,852 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SE prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SE area. 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%) |
| Semi-detached | £375,000 | £480,000 (+28%) | £613,025 (+28%) | £870,000 (+42%) | £1,390,000 (+60%) |
| Terraced | £405,000 | £475,000 (+17%) | £630,000 (+33%) | £878,697 (+39%) | £1,275,000 (+45%) |
| Flat | £345,000 | £465,000 (+35%) | £645,000 (+39%) | £885,000 (+37%) | — |
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.
