In cash terms the typical SE6 2 home went from £59,500 in 1995 to £410,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 217%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SE6 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 (+29.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−14.6%). 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) | −14.6% | −16.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.4% | −5.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.1% | −2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.2% |
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
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 49 sales completed in SE6 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 265 sales a year before the financial crisis and 100 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.
What tenants pay around SE6 2
The local authority for SE6 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.
Set against the £410,000 median sold price, £1,821 a month is £21,852 a year, a gross yield of 5.3%: 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.
How SE6 2 trades
This is a thin market: 49 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. Within SE6, this sector trades 9% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Will SE6 2 prices rise from here?

The price of an extra bedroom in SE
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SE area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
