Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on RM2: steady sales, so price from the evidence
Roughly 15 homes a month change hands in RM2, which is enough to price from, though not enough history for us to call a clear twelve-month direction.
If you are selling, with detached homes at £935,000 and flats at £282,500, the £250,000 to £859,500 spread is really several markets, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; roughly 15 sales a month is enough for buyers to compare, so evidence beats optimism.
Sell houseIf you are buying, on price, RM2 is well above the UK average, so compare any asking price with sold homes of the same type before you commit.
Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (1,194 applications on record within 500 m), the tenure (leasehold is common here) and whether the home is at risk of flooding, plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
With averages this broad, the free RM2 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning and council tax from the official sources.

In plain English
What the Havering (RM2) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £935,000 against £282,500 for flats: about 3.3 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £250,000 and £859,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- 36% of these sales were leasehold: a genuine mix of houses and flats, so check the tenure of the home you are looking at.
- This is an active district: about 15 recorded sales a month.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled RM2 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 4 to decile 8, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
RM2 6DL, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 7 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so RM2 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in RM2: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

What it costs to run a home in RM2, band by band
Havering's council tax for 2026-27 set against the RM2 median sold price of £512,500 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the RM2 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
