Summary
The EC1R market in September 2026
Sold prices in EC1R are +0.6% over the twelve months to December 2025 on the house price index. Over five years it is −4.9%.
The index is built from repeat sales of the same homes, so a change in what happened to sell does not move it. It is settled to December 2025; later months are provisional while the registry catches up.
69 sales were registered in EC1R in the twelve months to January 2026, 0% on the twelve months before, at a median of £901,500. 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 −0.2% and asking rents +19.9% 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 July 2026, 1 homes came to market in EC1R and 83% of listings were reduced. The median asking price was £920,000, £10,888 per square metre. New builds were 0% of listings.
6 agents listed a home for sale that month; the three busiest held 50% of listings.
54 homes were live for sale in EC1R on 7 September 2026, at a median asking price of £900,000, with a median listing age of 152 days. The stock count is observed daily from 5 September 2026 and settles as the portal sweep completes.
7 residential lots went to auction in EC1R over the last 6 quarters with results; in Q4 2025, 1 was offered and 0 sold. Guide and hammer averages are computed on different lots, so the table shows both with their counts rather than a difference.
2,201 homes in EC1R hold an energy certificate. 8.9% are rated A or B and 38% D or worse. 82.4% heat with mains gas, 1.5% with a heat pump. Certificates are lodged on sale or let, so long-held and social housing are under-represented.
