A typical home in Rush Green sells for about £430,000. That buys a terrace or a semi on the eastern edge of London, with flats at a bit over half that. Terraces and semis sell for almost the same money. Detached houses barely come up for sale at all. The price is fair for what you get, with nothing to spare.
The Land Registry recorded 268 sales in Rush Green in the year to May 2026, at a median of about £430,000. Semis led at about £469,000 across 74 sales, and terraces were close behind at about £442,000 across 124. Flats went for about £256,000 across 64 sales. Six detached houses changed hands, at a median of about £512,000, which is too few sales to say what a detached house here is worth. A semi costs only a little more than a terrace, so the extra wall of garden access comes at a discount.
The house price index for the area put the average at about £453,000 in May 2026, up 2.8% on a year earlier. Flats in the same index slipped 0.2%, which is close enough to flat to call it a standstill. Houses edged up and flats stood still, and anyone waiting for a crash in this corner of Havering will be waiting a while.
Band C is the most common council-tax band, and about 18% of homes are in bands A or B. A band D home in Havering pays about £2,425 a year.
For renters, the Office for National Statistics puts typical private rent across Havering at about £1,560 a month in April 2026. That is a mean for the whole borough, and Rush Green has no figure of its own. By size, the borough average runs to about £1,220 for a one-bed, £1,540 for a two-bed, £1,850 for a three-bed and £2,500 for four bedrooms or more. A three-bed house here sells for close to the price of a semi, and rents for the price of a decent family car each month.
The Office for National Statistics models typical gross household income across Rush Green at about £70,700 for the financial year to March 2023. That is before tax, three years old and an average across the neighbourhoods. Two decent salaries can reach a terrace or a semi with a sensible deposit. A single buyer on an ordinary wage is looking at the flats, and the flats have stopped going up.
Among the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate, about 88% of the total, the median price was about £4,960 per square metre, on a typical floor area of about 87 square metres. That is the space of a modest interwar family house. A terrace and a semi cost so nearly the same here that it pays to compare floor areas on the certificates. The extra square metres decide which one is the better deal, more than the label does.
At the 2021 census about 45% of Rush Green's households had three bedrooms, about 29% had two, and about 14% had four or more. Only about 13% had one. The three-bed is what Rush Green has the most of, so it is the easiest thing to find and the hardest to get a bargain on.
Rush Green is middling value. You pay a fair outer-London price for a family house, and nothing about the market here makes it cheap.
