Prices in Hackney have been broadly stable, a year-on-year change of -0.4%. Within Greater London, Hackney ranks 18th by price out of 51 principal towns, and 32th by transaction volume.

On a quarterly view, Hackney median prices moved from £570,550 in Q3 2024 to £572,550 in Q4 2025, a change of +0.4% over 5 quarters. The most recent quarter is excluded because HM Land Registry registrations for it are still incomplete.

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

HM Land Registry has so far registered 121 new-build sales in Hackney for the past 12 months, 5.1% 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 Hackney sold at a discount of 5.4% to existing stock.

Across the wider Greater London market, 1,285 new-build sales have registered so far. See our Greater London property market report for the full county picture.
