Home owners in Lewisham saw the value of their property rise by almost £400 a day in the first quarter of the year, according to latest analysis of Land Registry figures.
The research, from estate agents Chestertons, shows that the price of the average home in the borough rose by £385 per day between January and March.
This is compared to the average Londoner's daily pay of £94, based on an average salary of £34,730.
House prices rose by £174 a day in Greenwich and by £155 in Bexley.
Bromley, where house prices saw a rise of £58 a day, is one of only four London boroughs with a lower daily increase than the average London gross pay of £94.
The increase has been attributed to landlords rushing to buy before the stamp duty increase on second homes, which began on April 1.
Another factor is the relatively weak pound compared to the euro and the dollar, meaning international buyers may have capitalised on the strength of their currency.
