These numbers come from Roost's own pipeline: Newham listings gathered from estate agents across London between 8 March to 5 October 2026. Snapshot taken 5 October 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 Newham. 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.
