According to figures released by the Halifax, and celebrated in the Newham Recorder, Newham house prices have risen 281% in the last ten years, outstripping every other area in London. Amazingly, even after these gains, the average house price in the borough is "just" £189,660, making it the second cheapest London borough (after Barking & Dagenham). With the Olympics affecting prices in the area, it suggests there's still plenty more room for growth in Newham.
