Measured from the day we first saw a Barking and Dagenham listing to the day it left the market. A quarter lasted 5 days or fewer; a quarter were still there after 36. Because we time from first sight rather than from the agent's own listing date, the real figure is a little shorter than this.
Too few price moves here to call it.

It's what agents are marketing, not a census. It skews toward flats and toward the agents whose sites we watch, so it describes the market you'd actually meet while searching, not every home in Barking and Dagenham. Medians throughout, because a handful of prime listings pull an average upward and tell you nothing about your search.
Rents below £500 or above £15,000 a month are set aside as data errors or ultra-prime outliers. Where a figure would rest on too few listings to trust, we leave it blank rather than guess.
