Section 01

How RM3 0 prices moved

The chart tracks the median RM3 0 house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2026. 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 RM3 0 is £465,000 in 2026; the lowest is £70,000 in 1995. Across the full 32-year record the cash median has moved from £70,000 to £465,000.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £155,433, so the real change over the whole record is +199.2% — about +3.60% 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: +29.1% in cash against -7.5% 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.

The most recent sales

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.

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 RM3 0 values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04

What sells here

The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. RM3 0 is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

How big homes are in RM3 0

Energy Performance Certificates record a floor area for every home that has been surveyed, sold or let — far more homes than have changed hands. 1,289 certificates cover RM3 0, and their median floor area is 75 m².

The median across the whole register is 76 m², so homes here are about the same size than average — -1.3%. Size explains a large part of why one area's median price sits above another's, which is why the price per square metre further up this page is the fairer comparison.

Section 06

Ownership and new build in RM3 0

1,961 of the sales on record are leasehold and 4,698 freehold — 29.4% 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.

The median leasehold sale is £175,000 and the median freehold sale £245,000 — a gap of +40.0%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.

New build77811.7%£312,500
Existing home5,88188.3%£215,000
Shares are of the sales used on this page.

New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +45.3%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.

A further 260 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 07

Living in RM3 0

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.

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 £225,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.34% 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 RM3, 365 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 130 violent, 6 burglary, 28 vehicle-related and 82 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.2 times busier.

Against the 262,052 residents the 2021 census counted in Havering, that is 1.39 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.

Section 08

The neighbourhood around RM3 0

The 2021 census counted 262,052 residents in Havering across 101,276 households. 70.5% of those households own their home and 29.5% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

12 state and independent schools have a RM3 postcode: 10 primary, 2 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

Section 09

How RM3 0 compares

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. RM3 0 sits above that national figure — +42.9%.

Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,988 per square metre, across 1,204 of the 6,659 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 £22,000 to £1,495,000. 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.

RM3 0 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 RM3 0?

The median price paid in RM3 0 across every sale on the register is £225,000. 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 RM3 0?

6,659 sales are on record for RM3 0, the most recent completing on 19 Jun 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

Have RM3 0 house prices actually risen?

In cash, the median rose +29.1% between 2016 and 2026. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -7.5%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.

When were RM3 0 house prices at their highest?

The highest yearly median on record is £465,000, set in 2026. 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 RM3 0?

£2,988 per square metre, from the 1,204 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 19 Jun 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.
