A postcode sector like E1 0 is a single group of streets within E1 (London), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

What E1 0 homes really sell for
In the E1 0 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £425,000, from 19 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £474,700, sitting modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.
What a square metre costs in E1 0
A square metre of E1 0 home has cost about £6,590 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so E1 0 trades 49% above the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical E1 0 home went from £42,500 in 1995 to £425,000 in 2026, roughly 10 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 360%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 31% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the E1 0 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 1999 (+57.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−12.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.8% | −8.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.8% | −5.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.1% | −2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in E1 0
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 19 sales completed in E1 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 109 sales a year before the financial crisis and 41 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The rental side of E1 0
For renting purposes E1 0 sits in Tower Hamlets. The ONS average private rent there is £2,419 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,964 a month for a typical one-bed to £3,335 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Tower Hamlets
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £425,000 median purchase price, a rent of £2,419 a month (£29,028 a year) works out at a 6.8% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
Reading the E1 0 market
This is a thin market: 19 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.

What is for sale in E1 right now
Turning to what is actually available: 85 homes on the market right now, from 17 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole E1 district, not just E1 0: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 28% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: E prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the E area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £545,000 | £820,000 (+50%) | £1,197,500 (+46%) | — |
| Semi-detached | £435,000 | £530,000 (+22%) | £650,000 (+23%) | £900,000 (+38%) | £1,205,000 (+34%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
