How this area has changed
Typical prices for detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Forest Gate | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector LE7 7 | £438,000 | £378,500 +16% since | £310,000 +41% since | £264,950 +65% since | £275,000 +59% since |

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.
