Islington property market: common questions
Where is Islington?
Islington sits in north London, about 3 miles from the centre.
What is the average house price in Islington?
The median asking price across the 1,697 homes for sale in Islington is £650,000 (as of 20 August 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 £475,000 and £900,000. That is 18% above London. Homes that actually sold in Islington went for a median £650,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to December 2025).
How many homes are for sale in Islington?
1,697 homes are on the market in Islington right now, 298 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 Islington?
211 listings in Islington had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 12% of the homes currently for sale.
How long are homes on the market in Islington?
Of the Islington 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 80 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 Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.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 Islington?
The median asking price for a flat in Islington is £600,000; for a house it is £1,695,000. Use the property type and bedroom filters on this page for a finer cut.
What is the price per square foot in Islington?
In Islington, homes that sold went for a median £877 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £879 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (1,697 in Islington), refreshed daily, as of 20 August 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 Islington since August 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 for the 12 months to December 2025 (the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered), with floor areas from EPC certificates. England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
