Latest Average Asking Prices
Average Asking Prices Per Bedroom
Jacob's Takeaways
Prices dipped across Islington, Greater London, and the UK, as well as per bedroom across Islington N1.
These dips align with Rightmove's reporting of price drops across the southern regions. In London, particularly, prices dropped by 0.9% from May.
Competition among sellers is fierce right now as there is a growing number of homes available for sale. Pricing correctly from the outset is crucial to attract interest and offers.

Latest Islington Statistics
The latest statistics from Rightmove for the Islington postcodes of N1, N5, and N7. The listings data is for June 2025 compared with 2024 and 2023.
Jacob's Takeaways
The number of homes available for sale continues to increase, while the average daily views keep declining.
New instructions to sell and the number of sales being agreed on don't keep up. With more homes for sale, it's increasingly a buyer's market in Islington.
Price reductions are increasing, showcasing that more sellers are adjusting their asking prices to a price-sensitive market where buyers have a choice.

Latest UK Property Market News
Simon Gates of Opening The Gates reported that the number of new listings across the UK hit their highest level in May since September 2020.
Buyer demand has rebounded strongly since the Spring, with May recording the highest levels of sales being agreed since the summer of 2021. This momentum strongly demonstrates the desire of households to move home. However, buyers remain highly price-sensitive, especially in higher-value markets.
Gates concludes that with mortgage rates expected to remain relatively stable, it will likely continue to support buyer demand, transaction numbers and prices through the remainder of 2025.
Rightmove reported that there is a decade-high competition across the country among sellers to secure a buyer. The higher-priced southern regions have seen higher price drops this month (London saw prices drop -0.9%). These regions are being more affected by higher stamp duty charges, and seeing greater increase in available homes for sale.
Buyer activity across the country continues to be resilient, with buyer demand 3% ahead of last year. In addition, May saw the highest number of sales agreed in any month since March 2022, as properties marketed at the right price and presented in top condition continue to attract buyers.
However, the number of homes coming to market is 11% ahead of last year. With buyer choice so high, the market is very price-sensitive, so pricing realistically is key to selling. Rightmove data shows that homes which attract an enquiry on the first day of marketing are 22% more likely to find a buyer than homes which take more than two weeks to receive their first enquiry.
Zoopla reported that sales are being agreed at the fastest rate for 4 years. Sales agreed in the last 4 weeks are up 6% on last year, as more homes for sale bring more buyers into the market.
People continue to be price-sensitive with their moves, with cost-of-living pressures and higher interest rates impacting affordability. With 14% more homes for sale, boosting buyer choice, setting the right price is essential to attracting buyers and achieving a sale.
Zoopla is seeing a clear link between the rise in supply of homes and the slowdown in house price growth. Greater choice for buyers is a key factor holding back house prices. In London, the number of homes for sale is 16-19% higher than a year ago. At the same time, house prices are barely rising, by less than 0.5% over the last year.
Jacob's Takeaways
London and Islington see higher competition among sellers. You must price right from the outset to sell, along with your estate agent using great marketing, promotion and selling techniques. It's a fierce buyer's market.
