Deptford property market: common questions

What is the average house price in Deptford?

The median asking price across the 337 homes for sale in Deptford is £450,000 (as of 20 August 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £350,000 and £550,000. That is 18% below London. Homes that actually sold in Deptford went for a median £410,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to December 2025).

Are house prices being cut in Deptford?

54 listings in Deptford had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 16% of the homes currently for sale.

How long are homes on the market in Deptford?

Of the Deptford listings that came off the market in the last 30 days and that we first saw after we began tracking the area, the typical one had been advertised for 74 days. Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.

How much do flats and houses cost in Deptford?

The median asking price for a flat in Deptford is £427,500; for a house it is £750,000. Use the property type and bedroom filters on this page for a finer cut.

In Deptford, homes that sold went for a median £632 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £616 per sq ft.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (337 in Deptford), refreshed daily, as of 20 August 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
  • Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Deptford since August 2025.
  • London comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of London, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
  • Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data for the 12 months to December 2025 (the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered), with floor areas from EPC certificates. England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
