of valued London listings are priced above their fair market value
Based on 17477 valued listings out of 79157 tracked across London. 61680 listings have no verified floor area on the EPC register and therefore cannot be valued — they are excluded from every percentage on this page rather than estimated.
Ranked by the share of valued listings priced above fair value. Areas with fewer than 20 valued listings are excluded, because the share would not be meaningful.

For every listing with a verified floor area, we calculate a fair market price: the median sold price per square metre for comparable properties in the surrounding area, taken from HM Land Registry price paid data, adjusted for market movement using the UK House Price Index, and multiplied by the property's EPC-recorded internal floor area.
A listing is counted as above fair value or below fair value where the asking price diverges from that figure beyond a set tolerance, and about right within it. Listings whose asking price differs from the calculated figure by more than 30%, and those with no EPC floor area, are treated as unvalued and excluded.
The index recalculates daily as new listings arrive and sold records are published. Figures on this page were generated on 8 November 2026.
