Holborn property market: common questions
Where is Holborn?
Holborn sits in central London, partly in Camden. Figures for Holborn cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
What is the average house price in Holborn?
The median asking price across the 431 homes for sale in Holborn is £900,000 (as of 4 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 £650,000 and £1,560,000. That is 59% above London. Homes that actually sold in Holborn went for a median £725,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in Holborn rising or falling?
Broadly flat over the long run, but falling over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Holborn is broadly flat over the last 10 years and down 9% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Holborn cheaper than London?
No: asking prices in Holborn are typically higher than across London. The median asking price in Holborn is £900,000 against £565k across London: 59% 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 Holborn?
431 homes are on the market in Holborn right now, up 4% since 31 Aug, 77 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 Holborn?
43 listings in Holborn had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 10% of the homes currently for sale.
How long are homes on the market in Holborn?
Of the Holborn 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 39 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 Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.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 is a two-bedroom flat in Holborn?
The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Holborn is £1,025,000, across 185 current listings.
What is the price per square foot in Holborn?
In Holborn, homes that sold went for a median £1,011 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £1,174 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (431 in Holborn), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Holborn cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
- 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 Holborn since May 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 January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 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.
