What a budget reaches here
A median says what a size costs. This says how much of Croydon a figure actually reaches, measured against the same listings.
Not enough has left the market here to time it yet.
We time listings from the day we first see them to the day they leave the market. For Croydon we'd rather not print a number we can't yet stand behind.
When the price moves, it usually moves down.
Of the price changes we've recorded in Croydon, 74% were reductions. Asking rents here soften after listing more often than they firm up, which is worth remembering before you treat the number in the ad as final.
When one does fall in Croydon, it typically drops 5.6%, or about £100 a month, usually within 31 days of us first seeing the listing. Across London the typical fall is 6.1% and takes about 30 days, so Croydon runs close to the London typical. Based on 32 reductions of 1% or more.
Croydon rents around its stations.
The stations that come up most often as the nearest one to a Croydon listing.
These numbers come from Roost's own pipeline: Croydon listings gathered from estate agents across London between 8 March to 5 September 2026. Snapshot taken 5 September 2026.
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 Croydon. 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.
