In cash terms the typical SE5 7 home went from £47,000 in 1995 to £450,000 in 2026, roughly 10 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 340%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2016, and today's median remains roughly 26% under it: a 2016 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SE5 7 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 (+52.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−28.7%). 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) | +16.9% | +14.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.4% | −2.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.6% | +1.8% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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 21 SE5 7 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 122 sales a year before the financial crisis and 81 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.
What homes rent for around SE5 7
SE5 7 falls under Southwark, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,394 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,814 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,491, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Southwark
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £450,000 median purchase price, a rent of £2,394 a month (£28,728 a year) works out at a 6.4% 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.
Reading the SE5 7 market
This is a thin market: 21 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within SE5, this sector trades 8% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Moving up a bedroom in SE: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SE area, 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%) |

| Flat | £345,000 | £465,000 (+35%) | £645,000 (+39%) | £885,000 (+37%) | — |
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.
