Camden Property Prices Mirror 2021 Boom as Buyer Demand Surges

Camden residential prices rose 11 per cent year-on-year to an average of £872,000 by the end of June 2026, the same pace recorded between June 2020 and June 2021.

The parallel matters because mortgage rates have settled near 4.1 per cent while stock levels remain tight, repeating the conditions that drove the earlier surge without the pandemic-era stamp-duty holiday.

Transactions on Delancey Street and Gloucester Crescent have accounted for 14 completed sales above £1.1 million since March, according to Land Registry records released last week. Camden Council’s own planning portal shows 22 new applications for basement extensions in the same streets, a volume last seen in spring 2021.

Price data and transaction evidence

Rightmove figures for Camden Town and Primrose Hill postcodes list 47 homes under offer in the first week of July, up from 31 in the same week of 2025. The average time on market has fallen to 28 days, matching the 27-day average logged in July 2021. Detached houses on Chalcot Square have cleared at 3 per cent above asking price in four of the last five deals, a premium not repeated since the 2021 cycle.

Buyers are concentrating on properties within 400 metres of Camden Market and the Roundhouse, where footfall data from the venue’s 2025 annual report shows a 9 per cent rise in evening events that support local rental yields.

Next steps for buyers and sellers

Sellers listing before the August bank holiday can still capture the current momentum, while buyers should secure mortgage agreements in principle now to lock in rates ahead of any Bank of England decision expected after the summer. Local agents report that viewings booked for the second half of July already exceed July 2021 totals by 18 per cent.
