E1 covers Tower Hamlets and nearby parts of east London. According to the ONS and HM Land Registry UK House Price Index, the average house price across the Tower Hamlets borough was around £458,000 as of March 2026 — down about 10.9% over the year, largely driven by new-build flats. Over the year, flats fell 11.3%, with detached homes down 5.5%.
That keeps Tower Hamlets below the wider London average, so it remains comparatively better value within the capital. Average private rents locally were around £2,410 a month around the same period.
Estate agent fees aren't fixed by area. Most high-street agents charge somewhere around 1% to 1.5% of the sale price including VAT, typically on a no sale, no fee basis — so it's always worth getting a few quotes and comparing local agents directly rather than relying on a headline average.

At £458,000, the average home in Tower Hamlets is around £190,000 above the UK average of £268,000. The typical monthly private rent locally is around £2,410.
Even in a higher-value area like Tower Hamlets, average prices have eased over the past year, so buyers may have a little more room to negotiate and sellers are wise to price realistically rather than optimistically.
The average house price, 12-month change and average rent on this page come from the ONS / HM Land Registry UK House Price Index and the ONS Price Index of Private Rents, published under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Figures are reported at local-authority level — the ONS does not publish averages for individual postcode districts — and are provisional estimates that the ONS revises as more sales are recorded. Each figure is shown with the month it relates to, and we refresh them periodically against the latest ONS releases.
Estate agents shown on EstateRate appear on an opt-in basis. We do not rank or recommend agents in exchange for payment, and we display their real advertised fees where available.
