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

Redbridge: Outer North East London borough covering Ilford, Wanstead and Gants Hill with Elizabeth line-led demand.

Prices in Redbridge have shown strong growth, a year-on-year change of +5.3%. Within Greater London, Redbridge ranks 36th by price out of 51 principal towns, and 25th by transaction volume.

On a quarterly view, Redbridge median prices moved from £477,500 in Q1 2025 to £480,000 in Q2 2026, a change of +0.5% over 5 quarters. Redbridge has now recorded 3 consecutive quarters of price falls.

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

The local planning authority for Redbridge approved 29 residential planning applications and refused 52 in Q3 2026 (1 July to 30 September 2026), with 92 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 36%. 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 295 homes, an estimated £101.9m 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.

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