Summary
House prices in EC4V: the typical (median) sold price is £870,000, well above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index, July 2026). Over the last twelve months the local median is up 16.9%, comparing 16 sales with 21, so a handful of homes can swing it. EC4V is a quiet market, with about 1 recorded sale a month. By property type, 97% were flats (typically £655,000) and 3% were terraced homes (typically £2,825,000).

Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on EC4V: few sales, so go in with your eyes open
EC4V sees just 1 sale a month, and prices are up on last year, but on few sales, so treat the rise as a hint rather than a trend.
For sellers, £870,000 is only the middle of a market that runs from £442,000 to £4,800,000, so the closest sold homes of your type say much more than the middle; with so few sales, allow extra time and a local agent’s view; if certainty matters more than price, a quick cash sale usually means accepting about 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote).
Sell houseWhen buying here, EC4V sits well above the UK average for typical prices, and rising, so do not let a fast-moving market push you past what the sold homes of your type support.
Worth checking before you commit: lease length, ground rent and service charge, planning history nearby (4,702 applications on record within 500 m) and whether the home is at risk of flooding; your conveyancer should look at the title too.
The sold prices leave a lot open; the free EC4V OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English
What the City of London (EC4V) numbers mean
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £442,000 and £4,800,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- 82% 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.
- This is a quiet district: only about 1 recorded sale a month.
Only 99 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled EC4V postcodes, deprivation runs all in decile 8, with a median of decile 8 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
EC4V 3PS, 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 EC4V spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in EC4V: 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.

What it costs to run a home in EC4V, band by band
City of London's council tax for 2026-27 set against the EC4V median sold price of £870,000 across 99 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 EC4V 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.
