How Kennedy Road, Barking prices moved
The chart tracks the median Kennedy Road, Barking house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2007. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 4 | £52,000 | £115,465 |
| 2000s | 6 | £150,000 | £273,256 |
The highest yearly median on record for Kennedy Road, Barking is £195,000 in 2007; the lowest is £37,500 in 1995. Across the full 13-year record the cash median has moved from £37,500 to £195,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £83,268, so the real change over the whole record is +307.2% — about +12.41% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +264.5% in cash against +198.9% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Kennedy Road, Barking is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 107 | 100.0% | £150,000 | £25,000 – £400,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Kennedy Road, Barking
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 107 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 107 | 100.0% | £150,000 |
A further 12 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Barking and Dagenham at £1,693 a month as of Jun 2026 — £1,373 for a one-bedroom home and £1,891 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £150,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 13.54% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of IG11, 774 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 259 violent, 26 burglary, 81 vehicle-related and 124 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 4.6 times busier.
Against the 218,869 residents the 2021 census counted in Barking and Dagenham, that is 3.54 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

How Kennedy Road, Barking compares

Within Barking the street ranks 172 of 250 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £170,000 (-11.8%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,891 per square metre, across 44 of the 107 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Kennedy Road, Barking sits in Barking and Dagenham, in London.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Barking and Dagenham at 9.5 times median local earnings of £39,599 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Kennedy Road, Barking?
The median price paid in Kennedy Road, Barking across every sale on the register is £150,000. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Kennedy Road, Barking?
107 sales are on record for Kennedy Road, Barking, the most recent completing on 22 Sep 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Kennedy Road, Barking house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +264.5% between 1997 and 2007. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +198.9%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Kennedy Road, Barking house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £195,000, set in 2007. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Kennedy Road, Barking?
£1,891 per square metre, from the 44 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 22 Sep 2025. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
