Summary
The EC4A market in September 2026
Sold prices in EC4A are +1.0% over the twelve months to December 2025 on the house price index. Over five years it is +17.6%.
EC4A has too few repeat sales for an index of its own, so the published series is the national one. Its turns are national, not local.
21 sales were registered in EC4A in the twelve months to January 2026, −5% on the twelve months before, at a median of £565,000. Counts are from HM Land Registry directly; months from February 2026 are still filling and are left out of the total.
On the portals, asking prices moved −17.9% and asking rents +8.6% over twelve months. Asking leads sold by months and includes what never sells. The pipeline publishes these quarterly for this area because the monthly move is too noisy to resolve.
In March 2026, 3 homes came to market in EC4A and 63% of listings were reduced. The median asking price was £1,250,000, £12,802 per square metre. New builds were 0% of listings.
8 agents listed a home for sale that month; the three busiest held 38% of listings.
45 homes were live for sale in EC4A on 7 September 2026, at a median asking price of £750,000, with a median listing age of 172 days. The stock count is observed daily from 5 September 2026 and settles as the portal sweep completes.
416 homes in EC4A hold an energy certificate. 21.4% are rated A or B and 37.3% D or worse. 30.5% heat with mains gas, 1.2% with a heat pump. Certificates are lodged on sale or let, so long-held and social housing are under-represented.
