Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on SE23: steady sales, so price from the evidence
SE23 sees about 29 sales a month, and with no dependable year-on-year figure to hand, recent sold homes are a safer guide than any headline.
If you are selling, with semi-detached homes at £946,500 and flats at £400,000, the £284,750 to £994,375 spread is really several markets, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.
Sell houseIf you are buying, SE23 sits well above the UK average for typical prices, so a premium over the average needs a reason you can see in the sold homes of the same type.
Before an offer goes in on any SE23 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (2,995 applications on record within 500 m), the tenure (leasehold is common here) and whether the home is at risk of flooding, and leave the title to your conveyancer.
Where the numbers are this loose, the free SE23 OfferCheck gives you something firmer to hold: flood, crime, planning and council tax, each with its source.

In plain English
What the Lewisham (SE23) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: semi-detached homes sold for a typical £946,500 against £400,000 for flats: about 2.4 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £284,750 and £994,375, so the median says little about any one home.
- 56% 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 29 recorded sales a month.

Across the 12 sampled SE23 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 4 to decile 8, with a median of decile 6 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
SE23 2ED, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 6 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 SE23 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in SE23: 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 SE23, band by band
Lewisham's council tax for 2026-27 set against the SE23 median sold price of £496,750 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 SE23 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.
