Camden Property Prices Rise 4.1% in Q2 2026

Camden property prices posted 4.1% growth in the second quarter of 2026, compared with 3.2% in the same three months of 2025, according to Land Registry data released on 8 July.

The stronger quarterly rise comes as mortgage rates have eased from their 2025 peaks and buyers return to the market after a subdued spring. Local agents report renewed interest from families seeking larger homes within walking distance of good transport links, while stock remains limited in the most sought-after pockets.

Transactions on Parkway and around the Stables Market in Camden Town accounted for much of the activity, with several three-bedroom terraced houses changing hands above the £1.1 million mark. Nearby, the area bordering Primrose Hill continued to attract overseas buyers, pushing detached properties on Elsworthy Road to new quarterly highs.

Land Registry figures show the average price across the NW1 postcode reached £982,000 in the quarter ending June 2026, up from £943,000 twelve months earlier. Camden Council’s latest housing report, published in May, noted that first-time buyer purchases in the borough fell 11% year-on-year, a trend that has left more family-sized stock available for cash buyers and equity-rich movers.

Neighbourhood variations

Prices in Belsize Park advanced 4.8% over the quarter, ahead of the borough average, while growth in Kentish Town lagged at 2.9%. The difference reflects tighter supply near the Overground station and stronger demand for flats close to the Royal Free Hospital.

Buyers weighing a move this summer should compare recent sold prices on the Land Registry portal before making offers and speak with at least two local agents about current days-on-market figures for the street they are targeting.
