Camden Property Market: House Prices, Sold Data & Development Finance, Q3 2026 Review

Camden: North London market combining high values with creative-sector demand and strong conservation-led conversion opportunities.

The Camden property market recorded 2,080 residential sales in the 12 months to 30 June 2026, with a median sale price of £728,875. This places Camden £249k above the Greater London county median of £480,000, and £444k above the approximate UK median of £285,000.

Prices in Camden have recorded a moderate decline, a year-on-year change of -4.1%. Within Greater London, Camden ranks 8th by price out of 51 principal towns, and 43th by transaction volume.

On a quarterly view, Camden median prices moved from £699,000 in Q1 2025 to £655,000 in Q2 2026, a change of -6.3% over 5 quarters. Camden has now recorded 3 consecutive quarters of price falls.

Camden shares a HM Land Registry reporting district with neighbouring towns, and the source data does not distinguish Camden-specific sales from the wider district. The figures above reflect the whole shared district rather than Camden alone.

The local planning authority for Camden approved 20 residential planning applications and refused 5 in Q3 2026 (1 July to 30 September 2026), with 97 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 80%. Planning figures come from local planning authority records compiled by Landstack, retrieved on 3 October 2026. Councils and Landstack can take several days to publish decisions, so decisions made in the final days of Q3 2026 may not all be included yet.

Schemes approved in Q3 2026, together with those still awaiting a decision, propose around 233 homes, an estimated £164.2m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.

Camden covers more than one town in Greater London, so these figures are authority-wide rather than specific to Camden alone.

Property prices in Camden vary significantly by type. The table below compares Camden prices with Greater London county averages and UK national figures.

HM Land Registry has so far registered 52 new-build sales in Camden for the past 12 months, 2.5% of registered transactions. New-build sales are typically registered 6 to 18 months after completion, so this understates current delivery and is not a completions figure.

On those registered sales, new builds in Camden sold at a premium of 16.9% to existing stock.

Across the wider Greater London market, 1,006 new-build sales have registered so far. See our Greater London property market report for the full county picture.

A typical development finance facility for a scheme in Camden with a GDV of £3.65m would attract senior debt of approximately £2.37m at 65% LTGDV. Mezzanine finance can stretch total borrowing to 85-90% of costs, while bridging loans enable rapid site acquisitions completing in as little as 5 working days.

While prices have softened 4.1% year-on-year, experienced developers can still generate strong returns in Camden by targeting well-located sites with clear demand drivers.
