Hackney's housing market in 2026

The average property in Hackney sold for £690,716 over the past year, down 2% on the year before and 5% below the borough's 2022 peak of £730,138. Flats remained the dominant property type at £554,912 on average, while terraced houses near London Fields and Broadway Market averaged £1,223,618 and semi-detached homes reached £1,580,295.

With most Hackney buyers taking on a flat-sized mortgage rather than a house-sized one, level term life cover matched to the mortgage term is usually the most cost-effective way to protect a Dalston or London Fields purchase without overpaying for cover you don't need.
