London private-rent inflation (Mar 2026)
Croydon sits in south London, served by East Croydon's fast trains to London Bridge and Victoria, plus the only on-street tram network in Greater London. The borough is materially below the London average sold price and remains one of the more accessible entry points for first-time buyers in the capital, even after the recent regional softening in HPI prints.

Private-rent context
London private rent annual inflation was 1.7% in March 2026 in the ONS bulletin, but Croydon ran hotter — ONS reported the borough's average monthly private rent at £1,560 in March 2026, up 3.9% year on year. Two-bed flats around East Croydon and West Croydon typically let in the £1,400–£1,700 range, well below the London average of £2,119 per month.
Local context
- First-time buyers paid £327,000 on average in Croydon in February 2026, materially below the London first-time buyer HPI average of £463,000 and well inside SDLT first-time buyer relief.
- Flats fell hardest in the borough — down 5.2% over the year — which matters because flats are the entry point for most first-time buyers and investors at this price band.
- Croydon Town Centre regeneration, the planned Westfield-anchored redevelopment and proximity to East Croydon's fast Thameslink and Southern services into central London continue to support medium-term demand.
- Borough-level UK HPI uses a three-month moving average and recent values are provisional — single monthly movements should be read as directional rather than as definitive valuations.
