GeographiesThis report uses four levels of geography - postcode district, local authority level, regional level and national level. Which geographies are used in each analysis depend on the implications of the data (i.e. the point the chart is making) and the availablility of the data itself.

Postcode Districts are groups of postcodes named using all but the last three in a full posticde e.g. “SW11” or “N5”. Each postcode district (sometimes called ‘out codes’ ) contain about 10,000 homes. Local Authorities are the standard administrative geography in UK. In London they are also called “boroughs” with the exception of the City of London. Examples of Local Authorities include Hackney and Wandsworth and each contains 100,000 households on average.

At Regional level, analysis refers to large areas like Greater London, which the sum of the 33 Local Authorities. National level refers either to the UK, England or England excluding London depending on the analysis.



1.0 Executive Summary

N.B. For more information on the statistics mentioned in this section please see the notes section at the end of this report which explains the sources and terminology used.

Abbey Wood sits in south east London in the borough of Bexley about 17.2km south east of Charing Cross.

Abbey Wood in South East London has long been a largely overlooked area of outer South East London. Trans-port hasn't been fantastic and it's proximity to Thamesmead with its bad reputation has meant even the most creative local estate agents have had trouble selling it. However the announcement that Crossrail is going to have a station there has drawn a lot of attention to it. Prices there are quite low and it will soon be possible to travel to Bond Street in just 25 minutes. With transport accessibility perhaps the most important variable determining house prices its increasingly being seen as an investment hotspot.

The rental data in this report for Abbey Wood is based on 94 records from the Valuation Office Agency cap-tured over the 12 months up to the date written on the chart. At mid market level, rents in the area range from £77 per week for a room to £322 for a property with 4 or more bedrooms. In this area, the average two bedroom property costs between £220 and £240, with £230 as the mid-point, which is 28.6% lower than the London average. Properties at the upper end of the two-bed market command rents of £250 or above. Equally those at the lower end of the 2-bed market cost £209 or less. Over the last year rents in London have increased by 9.2% compared with 10.5% in the UK as a whole. That means that the gap between London and the rent of the country has increased with UK rents going from 59.3% of the London average to 57.4%.

The average job grade in Abbey Wood is 5.8 which is -8.7% lower than the local authority and -14.3% lower than London. The most common job category (as defined by the Office for National Statistics NS-Sec clas-sification) is 9. Elementary occupations accounting for 15% of the population. This is 2.6% lower than the average for the local authority and 7.5% lower than London.

In SE2, newly built properties are generally considered to be at the top end of the market if they achieve prices at or above £250/sqft for a house and £190/sqft for a flat. The equivalent values in the resale market are £240/sqft and £200/sqft respectively. The mid-market price point for the new build market in SE2 is £250/sqft for a house and £190/sqft for a flat. Again, the equivalent values in the resale market are £206/sqft and £170/sqft respectively. Since 2008, average prices per square foot have increased by 25.7% for new build flats, 53.5% for new build houses, 34.3% for resale flats and 33.2% for resale houses. Looking at it another way the £/sqft price band which has seen the highest number of transactions is £150-200 for new build flats, £200-250 for new build houses, £150-200 for resale flats and £200-250 for resale houses.

In terms of total capital values, new build properties which achieve £293,000 (houses) or £158,000 (flats) or above are considered top of the market. The equivalent values in the resale market are £285,000 and £170,000 respectively. The mid-point for the new build market in the neighbourhood is £293,000 for a house and £158,000 for a flat. Again, the equivalent values in the resale market are £245,000 and £140,000 respectively. Looking at the market as a whole, between 20011 and 2014, average prices have increased by 21.6% for flats, 32.4% for terraced houses, 13.8% semi-detached houses and 21.5% for detached houses. Looking at it anoth-er way the price band which has seen the highest number of transactions is £100k -200k for new build flats, £200k -300k for new build houses, £100k -200k for resale flats and £200k -300k for resale houses.

3.0 Capital valuesIn the first part of this section of the report we look at capital values per square foot in the local area. We cross-reference each transaction record from HM Land Registry with our database of gross internal areas to display modelled prices per square foot. The data is split by house types, new and resale and is displayed both over time and at different catchment areas. However as the Land Registry data does not contain bedrooms, the analyses look at broad house types only.

In SE2, newly built properties are generally considered to be at the top end of the market if they achieve prices at or above £250/sqft for a house and £190/sqft for a flat. The equivalent values in the resale market are £240/sqft and £200/sqft respectively. The mid-market price point for the new build market in SE2 is £250/sqft for a house and £190/sqft for a flat. Again, the equivalent values in the resale market are £206/sqft and £170/sqft respectively. Since 2008, average prices per square foot have increased by 25.7% for new build flats, 53.5% for new build houses, 34.3% for resale flats and 33.2% for resale houses. Looking at it another way the £/sqft price band which has seen the highest number of transactions is £150-200 for new build flats, £200-250 for new build houses, £150-200 for resale flats and £200-250 for resale houses.

In terms of total capital values, new build properties which achieve £293,000 (houses) or £158,000 (flats) or above are considered top of the market. The equivalent values in the resale market are £285,000 and £170,000 respectively. The mid-point for the new build market in the neighbourhood is £293,000 for a house and £158,000 for a flat. Again, the equivalent values in the resale market are £245,000 and £140,000 respectively. Looking at the market as a whole, between 20011 and 2014, average prices have increased by 21.6% for flats, 32.4% for terraced houses, 13.8% semi-detached houses and 21.5% for detached houses. Looking at it anoth-er way the price band which has seen the highest number of transactions is £100k -200k for new build flats, £200k -300k for new build houses, £100k -200k for resale flats and £200k -300k for resale houses.

In terms of overall transaction levels, transactions currently sit -6.1% below where they were in 2008 for prop-erties within SE2. On average throughout the period, flats have accounted for 18.6% of transactions, terraced houses, 65.6%, semi-detached properties 13.4% and detached houses 2.4%.

4.0 Rent levelsIn this next part of the report we look at rent levels in the local area, as defined by the postcode district in which the property sits. The data is collected by the Valuation Office Agency and is used by local authorities to assess private rent levels in order to inform housing benefit payments. It should be noted that this analysis uses a sample of data from across the area and only accounts for number of bedrooms, not type or size of property.

The analysis visualises the distribution of rents in the sample to determine upper, lower and mid-market price points at each bedrooms count. On that basis the main purpose of this chart is to show the price points at which the low-end, mid and premium markets begin and end.

The rental data in this report for Abbey Wood is based on 94 records from the Valuation Office Agency cap-tured over the 12 months up to the date written on the chart. At mid market level, rents in the area range from £77 per week for a room to £322 for a property with 4 or more bedrooms. In this area, the average two bedroom property costs between £220 and £240, with £230 as the mid-point, which is 28.6% lower than the London average. Properties at the upper end of the two-bed market command rents of £250 or above. Equally those at the lower end of the 2-bed market cost £209 or less. Over the last year rents in London have increased by 9.2% compared with 10.5% in the UK as a whole. That means that the gap between London and the rent of the country has increased with UK rents going from 59.3% of the London average to 57.4%.

5.0 Local Demand Dynamics5.1SummaryPopulation projections give us some forward visibility on how demand might increase in the future. One of the key drivers of demand for all residential property assets is rising levels of local residents. We show the figures in two ways; absolute numbers and relative values. This allows the reader to get some context on how populations are likely to rise.

The presence of non-UK born residents contributes hugely to the flavour of any area. We look at the propor-tion of foreign born people to show how international the area is but we also break it down into most com-mon countries of origin for an extra layer of granularity. As well as countries, we also look at most common languages as this is a rough proxy for local cultural themes.

Age profile has a massive impact on the nature of demand in the local area. In most parts of the UK, the age bands 30 to 44 and 45 to 59 are the biggest but small variations around this standard pattern make all the difference. For example, if an area has a particularly strong group of people in the 25 to 29 band then this is a proxy for particularly strong demand for private rented accommodation. Likewise, areas with a large amount of people in the lifestage “flatshares and young couples” are likely to have a very strong demand for rented accommodation.

The employment profile of a local area says a lot about general levels of wealth, income disparity and pro-pensity to afford certain types of housing. The job bands we use come from the Office for National statistics. It’s not easy to classify every job and there are significant variations within bands. However, the order does broadly correspond to skills required and income levels.

In the education section we show the proportion of the population that have achieved certain education lev-els. Level 4, the highest level corresponds to degree level qualifications. Some qualifications, particularly those from abroad don’t fit neatly into the 4 levels shown so will feature in the “other qualifications” category. Areas with high levels of non-UK born residents are likely to have a large proportion of people in this segment.

Earnings and wealth are the most obvious determinants of rental affordability. We show the median average earnings for full time workers using data from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings. We show the figures at lower quartile, median and upper quartile level which shows the distribution of the population sample. We also split the residents into broad categories.

The amount of time between the sale of a property and the registration of this information with Land Registry varies. It typically ranges between 2 weeks and 2 months. Data for the two most recent months is therefore incomplete and does not give an indication of final monthly volumes.

Occasionally the interval between sale and registration is longer than two months. The small number of sales affected cannot be updated for publication until the sales are lodged for registration.

Notes continued

CrimeThe data from police.co.uk is collected as part of the Annual Data Requirement. Explanatory notes on the site state that:

The Government is committed to making police performance more transparent to the public. We are opening up data on police actions, and the vision is for data.police.uk to become the hub for all open police and criminal justice data. Since April 2014, the Home Office has made the following data available through data.police.uk:

o Police Recorded Crime and Police Outcomes. o Use of PACE powers for Stop and Search.

The Annual Data Requirement (ADR) is the statutory framework that sets out what information police forces in England and Wales must regularly provide. By making even more ADR information available on data.police.uk, we are further increasing police transparency and accountability at a national and local level.

SchoolsThe data in the tables on the schools section are taken from two databases compiled by ResiAnalytics. They show the three nearest schools in the public and private sector split between junior and senior. Not all data is available in all instanc-es. For example private sector junior schools aren’t required to publish results so none are available. Equally data on fees for private schools is not always available so we only display it where know.

SituDemSituDem data is socio-demographic which splits every postcode in England and Wales into one of five wealth categories and ten life cycle stages. It does this using a unique belnd of data incorporating things such as earnings, spending patterns and even housing market activity.
