Lewisham house prices rose 1.67% in year after Brexit

CityAM has published a map of the house price changes recorded in each London borough in the 12 months since Brexit, and shows that Lewisham experienced a rise of 1.67% between June 2016 and July 2017.

The map, based on data from Emoov, displays risers in blue and fallers in red. Lewisham, which has experienced some of the fastest rises in the capital over the last decade, has been in the bottom half of the pack since the Brexit vote. The 1.67% rise compares with a national average increase of 4.9%.

In July, the paper reported that Lewisham house prices had passed the £5,000 per square metre threshold, having experienced a 618% increase in the past 20 years, the fourth fastest rise in London during that period. Halifax points out that Lewisham recorded the third-highest rate of house price growth between 2012 and 2017, behind Waltham Forest and Newham.
