Poplar market report E14 3, London
The standing E14 3 (Poplar) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. The raw material for this page is 11,364 HM Land Registry entries for E14 3 (London), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 45 registered 2026 sales put the E14 3 (London) median at £477,500, down 4% on five years earlier, with a mean of £515,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £6,870 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 11,364 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
E14 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside E14 (London). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What E14 3 homes really sell for
In the E14 3 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £477,500, from 45 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £515,400, sitting a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
What a square metre costs in E14 3
Measured by floor area, the last five years of E14 3 sales average about £6,870 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so E14 3 trades 68% above the country as a whole.

Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical E14 3 home went from £70,000 in 1995 to £477,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 214%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2019, and today's median remains roughly 32% under it: a 2019 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the E14 3 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 2001 (+39.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +11.0% | +8.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.8% | −5.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.4% | −3.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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 E14 3
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 45 sales completed in E14 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 608 sales a year before the financial crisis and 142 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the E14 3 market
Only 45 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes E14 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What tenants pay around E14 3
For renting purposes E14 3 sits in Tower Hamlets. The ONS average private rent there is £2,419 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,964 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,335, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Tower Hamlets
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £477,500 median purchase price, a rent of £2,419 a month (£29,028 a year) works out at a 6.1% 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.

Where do E14 3 prices go next?

Real sold prices by size across the E area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
