How this area has changed

Typical prices for flats, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.

The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.

Sector E7 0 Newham Typical price each year, flats. A gap is a year with too few sales.
