A house in Manor Park typically costs about £465,000, but the type of house moves the price more than the average does. Terraces go for nearer half a million. Flats come in nearer £290,000. The few semis that sell cost the best part of a million. Most of the market is terraced houses, so most buyers will be paying terrace prices.
The Land Registry recorded 101 sales in the year to May 2026, at a typical price of about £465,000. Terraces made up most of them: 70 sold, at a typical price of around £492,000. The 25 flats went for about £290,000. Only six semi-detached houses sold, at a typical price near £939,000. Here that is what one fewer shared wall costs.
Prices barely moved over that period. The official house price index for the area recorded a fall of 1.4% in the twelve months to May 2026, which is small enough that a seller need not mention it. Flats fell further, down 3.2% over the same year. If you are buying a flat, look up what that same flat last sold for on the Land Registry's price-paid record, because the seller may still have the peak price in mind.
Council tax is set low on Newham's scale. Band C is the most common band, and about 36% of homes are in bands A or B. Newham charges about £1,944 a year for band D, which most buyers can compare with their current bill.
Renting across Newham costs a typical £1,920 or so a month, the Office for National Statistics' average private rent for the whole borough in April 2026. It is a mean from their rent index, not a median of advertised listings. By size, the borough averages about £1,620 a month for one bedroom, £1,980 for two, £2,190 for three and £2,660 for four or more. Newham rents rose about 7% in the year to April 2026, while house prices in the area dipped. That makes buying look better value to renters than it has for a while.
The income figure is older than the prices. The Office for National Statistics models average gross household income across Manor Park, before tax, at about £63,000 for the financial year to March 2023. Set against a typical terrace at nearly half a million, that is a stretch even with a decent deposit. A household on the area's typical income buying a terrace here should expect the bank to ask where the rest of the money is coming from.
For the 88% of last year's sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, the median price was about £5,300 per square metre. The typical home behind that figure measures 96 square metres. The figure is for houses and flats together, so it sits higher for a terrace with a loft conversion and lower for a flat in a converted house.
At the 2021 Census, about 37% of homes had three bedrooms, 26% had two, 21% had four or more and 16% had one. Three bedrooms is the most common size, so families searching for a three-bedroom home will find more choice here than for any other size.
Houses in Manor Park cost middling money for what they are. They are within reach for a two-income household with a deposit, out of reach on one local wage, and nobody is getting them cheap.
