How this area has changed

Typical prices for flats, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.

Area Now 5 years ago10 years ago15 years ago20 years ago
Farthing Fields – Not enough sales Not enough sales Not enough sales Not enough sales
Postcode sector E1W 3 £495,000 £522,500 -5% since £630,000 -21% since £365,675 +35% since £269,975 +83% since
Tower Hamlets £437,480 £555,000 -21% since £455,000 -4% since £295,000 +48% since £235,356 +86% since

The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
