Newham named London's most popular area for first-time buyers

Newham is the most popular place in London for buying a first home, with 77% of all property purchases in the first half of the year coming from those taking their first step on the housing ladder. Buyers paid an average of £388,170 for a property. The most popular streets in the area were Earlham Grove in Stratford, Silvertown Way in Canning Town, and Gallions Road in Beckton. Barking & Dagenham followed Newham, with Thurrock - technically in Essex - taking third place.
