Editorial
About the Lewisham market
Lewisham is a south-east London borough of flats above shops and Victorian terraces, from Deptford and New Cross on the river side to Catford, Forest Hill and Sydenham in the south. Brockley, Ladywell and Blackheath's western edge carry the highest prices per square metre; Catford and Downham the lowest. Most sales are flats, so the borough's headline price moves with the flat market more than the house market.
Read the cohort table before the headline: a two-bedroom flat in Brockley and a three-bedroom terrace in Catford are different markets, and the median across both tells you about the mix, not about either. The figures on this page are read from the MarketCode API each day; this note is written by a person and dated.
- Flats are the majority of sales, so the borough median follows the flat market.
- Brockley, Ladywell and Blackheath's edge price highest per square metre; Catford and Downham lowest.
- Registration lag means the last three months of sales are always incomplete; read the settled month, not the latest.

Summary
The Lewisham market in September 2026
Sold prices in Lewisham are −0.4% over the twelve months to December 2025 on the house price index. Over five years it is +8.2%.
The index is built from repeat sales of the same homes, so a change in what happened to sell does not move it. It is settled to December 2025; later months are provisional while the registry catches up.
In December 2025, the median residential sale in Lewisham was £505,089, £6,541 per square metre: a direct measurement on 30 or more sales. 0.11% of the stock changed hands in the month.
On the portals, asking prices moved −4.2% and asking rents +4.0% over twelve months. Asking leads sold by months and includes what never sells. The pipeline publishes these quarterly for this area because the monthly move is too noisy to resolve.
In August 2026, 25 homes came to market in Lewisham and 70% of listings were reduced. The median asking price was £412,500, £5,955 per square metre. New builds were 2% of listings.
54 agents listed a home for sale that month; the three busiest held 13% of listings.
1,788 homes were live for sale in Lewisham on 7 September 2026, at a median asking price of £425,000, with a median listing age of 153 days. The stock count is observed daily from 5 September 2026 and settles as the portal sweep completes.
104,941 homes in Lewisham hold an energy certificate. 13.6% are rated A or B and 44.8% D or worse. 81.7% heat with mains gas, 0.4% with a heat pump. Certificates are lodged on sale or let, so long-held and social housing are under-represented.
