Overview of Barking

The Barking property market covers the following areas:

The borough of Barking offers a large amount of redbrick terrace properties. These were built between the wars to re-house those from the slums of the East End and London workers.

Victorian terraces can be found in the roads near the town centre of Barking, while larger Edwardian housing can be found by Mayesbrook Park.

The Becontree estate dominates the borough, stretching from Dagenham to Chadwell Heath, where properties mainly comprise 1930s terraces and semis. Chadwell Heath if often perceived as a step up from Dagenham due to the larger number of privately owned properties. Dagenham offers a selection of semis, terraces and older two- and three-bedroom homes.
