In cash terms the typical SE7 8 home went from £59,800 in 1995 to £495,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 281%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 24% 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 SE7 8 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 2000 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−12.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SE7 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.0% | −3.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.7% | −5.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.5% | +1.7% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
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 register shows 14 SE7 8 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 106 sales a year before the financial crisis and 44 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.
What homes rent for around SE7 8
For renting purposes SE7 8 sits in Greenwich. The ONS average private rent there is £1,952 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,529 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,941 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Greenwich
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £495,000 median sold price, £1,952 a month is £23,424 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: 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 SE7 8 trades
Only 14 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SE7 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

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. 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.
