Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Sowrey Avenue, Rainham values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Sowrey Avenue, Rainham 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 60 | 84.5% | £211,000 | £43,000 – £515,000 |
| Terraced | 6 | 8.5% | £195,000 | £120,000 – £450,000 |

| Flat or maisonette | 2 | 2.8% | £83,000 | £83,000 – £130,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Sowrey Avenue, Rainham
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 71 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 | 71 | 100.0% | £211,000 |
A further 3 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.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Havering, 40.0% of 109,391 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.4% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Havering at £1,563 a month as of Jun 2026 — £1,214 for a one-bedroom home and £1,843 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £211,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.89% 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 RM13, 271 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 74 violent, 6 burglary, 35 vehicle-related and 52 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.6 times busier.
Against the 262,052 residents the 2021 census counted in Havering, that is 1.03 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.

The neighbourhood around Sowrey Avenue, Rainham

13 state and independent schools have a RM13 postcode: 10 primary, 2 secondary, 1 16 plus. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

Within Rainham the street ranks 128 of 264 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £200,000 (+5.5%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,309 per square metre, across 23 of the 71 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Sowrey Avenue, Rainham sits in Havering, in London.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Havering at 11.0 times median local earnings of £41,054 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 Sowrey Avenue, Rainham?
The median price paid in Sowrey Avenue, Rainham across every sale on the register is £211,000. 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 Sowrey Avenue, Rainham?
71 sales are on record for Sowrey Avenue, Rainham, the most recent completing on 21 May 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Sowrey Avenue, Rainham house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +21.6% between 2002 and 2009. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +3.6%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Sowrey Avenue, Rainham house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £194,000, set in 2009. 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 Sowrey Avenue, Rainham?
£2,309 per square metre, from the 23 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 21 May 2026. 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.
