In cash terms the typical EC1V 2 home went from £62,000 in 1995 to £717,500 in 2026, roughly 12 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 432%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 50% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the EC1V 2 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 1997 (+141.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−22.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −22.0% | −23.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −8.6% | −12.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.4% | −3.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.5% |
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 EC1V 2
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 4 EC1V 2 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 58 sales a year over the last five years against 20 before the financial crisis. 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.
What kind of market EC1V 2 is
Only 4 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes EC1V 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
The rental side of EC1V 2
The local authority for EC1V 2 is Islington, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £2,828 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £2,144 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £4,176, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Islington
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £717,500 median purchase price, a rent of £2,828 a month (£33,936 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: EC prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the EC area, 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat | £560,050 | £825,000 (+47%) | £1,310,000 (+59%) | £1,882,500 (+44%) | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
The risers and the fallers
The spread across the EC area is the point: the same five years treated these districts very differently.

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.
