Summary
The L12 market in September 2026
Sold prices in L12 are +5.3% over the twelve months to December 2025 on the house price index. Over five years it is +32.3%.
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.
351 sales were registered in L12 in the twelve months to January 2026, 0% on the twelve months before, at a median of £220,000. Counts are from HM Land Registry directly; months from February 2026 are still filling and are left out of the total.
In December 2025, the median residential sale in L12 was £190,309: modelled on 5 to 29 sales. 0.12% of the stock changed hands in the month.
On the portals, asking prices moved −2.3% and asking rents +3.7% 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, 4 homes came to market in L12 and 56% of listings were reduced. The median asking price was £289,000, £2,745 per square metre. New builds were 0% of listings.
7 agents listed a home for sale that month; the three busiest held 56% of listings.
163 homes were live for sale in L12 on 7 September 2026, at a median asking price of £240,000, 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.
8 residential lots went to auction in L12 over the last 8 quarters with results; in Q3 2026, 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.
8,093 homes in L12 hold an energy certificate. 4.2% are rated A or B and 54.6% D or worse. 96.1% heat with mains gas, 0.2% with a heat pump. Certificates are lodged on sale or let, so long-held and social housing are under-represented.
