Summary
House prices in EC3N: the typical (median) sold price is £938,422, well above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index, July 2026). Over the last twelve months the local median is down 32.5%, comparing 17 sales with 72, so a handful of homes can swing it. EC3N is a quiet market, with about 2 recorded sales a month. Nearly all the recorded sales were flats (typically £787,358).

Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on EC3N: a quiet market, so take your time
EC3N has seen just 163 sales since March 2020, and prices have drifted down, so sellers should plan for a longer sale and buyers can afford to be patient.
If you are thinking of selling, a spread from £531,000 to £7,701,000 makes £938,422 a poor guide to any one home, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; with so few sales, allow extra time and a local agent’s view; cash buyers typically offer around 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote), which only makes sense if certainty is worth that much to you.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, EC3N sits well above the UK average for typical prices, though prices have eased, so there may be room to negotiate; just remember one year of falls is not a forecast.
Before an offer goes in on any EC3N home, look at the lease (length, ground rent and service charge), what has been applied for nearby (6,455 applications on record within 500 m) and whether a new-build premium is baked into the price, and leave the title to your conveyancer.
The sold prices leave a lot open; the free EC3N OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English
What the City of London (EC3N) numbers mean
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £531,000 and £7,701,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- 86% of these sales were leasehold, which marks a flat-heavy market. Buyers here weigh remaining lease length, ground rent and service charges as much as the price.
- 52% of these sales were new builds, which often sell at a premium the first time around and can lift the median above what resale homes make.
Only 163 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.
- This is a quiet district: only about 2 recorded sales a month.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled EC3N postcodes, deprivation runs decile 5 to decile 9, with a median of decile 8 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
EC3N 4AX, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 8 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so EC3N spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in EC3N: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

City of London's council tax for 2026-27 set against the EC3N median sold price of £938,422 across 163 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the EC3N median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
