Redbridge's housing market in 2026
The average property in Redbridge sold for £624,500 over the past year, up 2% on the year before and 5% above the borough's previous 2023 peak of £595,321. Terraced houses were the most commonly sold property type at £609,794 on average, with semi-detached homes near Woodford averaging £650,556 and detached properties in Wanstead at £640,000.
Redbridge setting a new price high means buyers moving from Ilford terraces up to Woodford or Wanstead detached houses are taking on meaningfully larger mortgages than they would have even two years ago, which is exactly the kind of change worth reviewing existing life cover against.
