The Halifax monthly index shows property prices have risen consistently in the borough over the last 12 months.
Hornchurch houses have risen the most, from an average of £302,361 in June last year, to £349,034 this June (14 per cent).
Upminster properties have risen from £463,831 to £494,642 (6.6pc) and Romford from £247,160 to £279,115 (11pc).
Martin Gibbon, group director of Balgores Property Group, with offices in all of the areas, said: “Prices are generally slowing down a little, but they are very buoyant and still ahead of average prices in the UK.
“This I believe is due to increased confidence in the economy, low levels of available stock and historically low interest rates.
