Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on SE16: steady sales, so price from the evidence
SE16 is neither busy nor quiet, at about 30 sales a month, a pace that gives buyers and sellers something to compare, without a year-on-year figure we would stand behind.
If you are selling, SE16 sales mostly ran from £270,000 to £770,500, so find the sold homes closest to yours and price against those; most homes here sell leasehold, so have the lease length, ground rent and service charge paperwork ready before you list.
Sell houseIf you are buying, on price, SE16 is well above the UK average, so compare any asking price with sold homes of the same type before you commit.
Before an offer goes in on any SE16 home, look at the lease (length, ground rent and service charge), what has been applied for nearby (1,609 applications on record within 500 m) and flood risk over the long term, and leave the title to your conveyancer.
The free SE16 OfferCheck pulls sold prices, flood, crime, planning, council tax and schools into one sourced page; the Report says which matter for the home you have in mind.

In plain English
What the Lewisham (SE16) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: terraced homes sold for a typical £770,000 against £415,000 for flats: about 1.9 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- 86% of these sales were leasehold, which marks a flat-heavy market. Buyers here weigh remaining lease length, ground rent and service charges as much as the price.
- This is an active district: about 30 recorded sales a month.

Across the 12 sampled SE16 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 3 to decile 10, with a median of decile 5 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
SE16 6HS, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 5 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

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 SE16 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in SE16: 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.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in SE16, band by band
Lewisham's council tax for 2026-27 set against the SE16 median sold price of £450,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearLewisham | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £450,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the SE16 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.
