A home in Abbey Wood typically sells for about £440,000, and that buys a terrace. Terraces make up most of the sales. Flats go for a lot less. Detached houses barely come up. Prices are at middle-of-the-road London levels and stayed there all year.
The Land Registry recorded 161 sales in Abbey Wood in the year to May 2026, at a median of £440,000. Terraces made up 107 of those sales, at a median of £440,000. The 28 semis came in at about £460,000 and the 21 flats at about £275,000. Only five detached houses sold, at a median of about £510,000. Terraces dominate the sales so heavily that the typical home and the typical terrace cost the same.
The house price index for the area put the average at about £463,000 in May 2026, up 0.1% on a year earlier. That is too small to count as a change. Flats did a little worse, down about 2% over the same twelve months.
Band C is the most common council-tax band, and about 36% of homes are in bands A or B. The Royal Borough of Greenwich charges about £2,110 a year at band D and about £1,400 at band A.
Across the Royal Borough of Greenwich, private rent was about £1,950 a month as of April 2026, up about 4% on the year. That is a borough-wide mean from the Office for National Statistics rent index, so it describes Greenwich as a whole. By size, the borough averages about £1,530 for one bedroom, £1,890 for two, £2,190 for three and £2,940 for four or more. The index does not publish figures for studios or single rooms. About 22% of Abbey Wood's households rent privately and 32% rent from a social landlord. Plenty of people here pay rent, but under half of them pay it to a private landlord.
The Office for National Statistics models gross household income in Abbey Wood at about £66,900 for the financial year to March 2023. A £440,000 terrace on that income is a joint-mortgage purchase, and probably needs help with the deposit. The income figure is also before tax and three years old, so it makes buying look easier than it is in two ways.
Of the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate, about 93% of the total, the median price works out at about £5,250 per square metre for a typical floor area of 84 square metres. Floor areas in sales particulars are often more generous than the certificate. Check the certificate's figure for the actual house against what the particulars claim.
At the 2021 Census about 45% of homes had three bedrooms, 28% two, 14% four or more and 13% one. Abbey Wood is mostly three-bedroom houses with a smaller share of flats, and the three-bed terrace is the standard home here.
Houses in Abbey Wood are fairly priced: not cheap, not inflated, and fairly steady over the past year. You pay for a three-bed terrace and a line into the centre.
