How Columbus Square, Erith prices moved

The chart tracks the median Columbus Square, Erith house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2001 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.

Median of the yearly medians in each decade.

The highest yearly median on record for Columbus Square, Erith is £105,500 in 2007; the lowest is £60,250 in 2001. Across the full 7-year record the cash median has moved from £60,250 to £105,500.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £118,154, so the real change over the whole record is +55.2% — about +7.61% 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: +75.1% in cash against +55.2% 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.

Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Ownership and new build in Columbus Square, Erith

80 of the sales on record are leasehold and 0 freehold — 100.0% 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.

A further 8 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.

Section 09

How Columbus Square, Erith compares

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Columbus Square, Erith sits below that national figure — -41.4%.

Within Erith the street ranks 255 of 276 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £150,975 (-38.9%).

Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,769 per square metre, across 30 of the 80 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

The full range on record runs from £51,000 to £173,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

Quick answers

Common questions about this data

What is the average house price in Columbus Square, Erith?

The median price paid in Columbus Square, Erith across every sale on the register is £92,250. 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 Columbus Square, Erith?

80 sales are on record for Columbus Square, Erith, the most recent completing on 1 Oct 2021. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

Have Columbus Square, Erith house prices actually risen?

In cash, the median rose +75.1% between 2001 and 2007. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +55.2%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.

When were Columbus Square, Erith house prices at their highest?

The highest yearly median on record is £105,500, 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 Columbus Square, Erith?

£1,769 per square metre, from the 30 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 1 Oct 2021. 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.
