Clerkenwell property market: common questions
Where is Clerkenwell?
Clerkenwell sits in north London, mostly in Islington, about 2 miles from the centre.
What is the average house price in Clerkenwell?
The median asking price across the 582 homes for sale in Clerkenwell is £765,000 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £575,000 and £1,093,750. That is 33% above London. Homes that actually sold in Clerkenwell went for a median £735,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).
Are house prices in Clerkenwell rising or falling?
Broadly flat. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Clerkenwell has moved little over the last 10 years, including the last 12 months (12 months to February 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Clerkenwell cheaper than London?
No: asking prices in Clerkenwell are typically higher than across London. The median asking price in Clerkenwell is £765,000 against £575k across London: 33% above London. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The premium holds from the lower end to the top of the market.
How many homes are for sale in Clerkenwell?
582 homes are on the market in Clerkenwell right now, up 6% since 1 Sept, 106 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.
Are house prices being cut in Clerkenwell?
65 listings in Clerkenwell had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 11% of the homes currently for sale.
How long are homes on the market in Clerkenwell?
Of the Clerkenwell listings that came off the market in the last 30 days and that we first saw after we began tracking the area, the typical one had been advertised for 73 days. Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.
How much do flats and houses cost in Clerkenwell?
The median asking price for a flat in Clerkenwell is £750,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £2,200,000 across 15 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Clerkenwell?
The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Clerkenwell is £850,000, across 238 current listings.
What is the price per square foot in Clerkenwell?
In Clerkenwell, homes that sold went for a median £929 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £1,011 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (582 in Clerkenwell), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Clerkenwell since June 2025.
- London comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of London, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to February 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to August 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
