Camberwell market report SE5 0, London
The standing SE5 0 (Camberwell) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Everything below comes from 2,811 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in SE5 0 (London) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: the 2026 median for SE5 0 (London) is £480,000, from 27 registered sales, down 3% on five years earlier; the mean is £518,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £6,550 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 2,811 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
SE5 0 is one sector of SE5 (London): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

In cash terms the typical SE5 0 home went from £63,000 in 1995 to £480,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 250%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 34% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SE5 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 1997 (+56.9% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−19.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.7% | +4.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.7% | −5.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.2% | −3.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +1.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in SE5 0
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.
SE5 0 recorded 27 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 117 sales a year before the financial crisis and 74 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.
Reading the SE5 0 market
This is a thin market: 27 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 homes rent for around SE5 0
For renting purposes SE5 0 sits in Southwark. The ONS average private rent there is £2,394 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,814 a month for a typical one-bed to £3,491 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Southwark
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £480,000 median purchase price, a rent of £2,394 a month (£28,728 a year) works out at a 6.0% 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.

What another bedroom costs in SE
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.
The risers and the fallers
The spread across the SE area is the point: the same five years treated these districts very differently.

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.
