What SE7 homes really sell for
62 sales were registered in SE7 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £505,000. The mean works out at £540,700, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.
SE7 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of SE7 sales average about £5,890 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, SE7 sits 77% above the national market.

In cash terms the typical SE7 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £505,000 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 301%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SE7 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 2015 (+29.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−7.9%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 46% of the typed total. In 2000, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £250,000 against £78,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

Annualised returns

| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.1% | +0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.9% |

| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.7% | +1.9% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
SE7 recorded 118 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 312 sales a year before the financial crisis and 146 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.
Reading the SE7 market
This is a thin market: 118 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.
Rents around SE7
For renting purposes SE7 sits in Greenwich. The ONS average private rent there is £1,952 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,529 a month here against £2,941 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Greenwich
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £505,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,952 a month (£23,424 a year) works out at a 4.6% 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.

Is SE7 (Charlton) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in SE7 (Charlton)?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 4% over five years in cash but down 18% after inflation.

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%) |

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.
