According to new research from Halifax, Hackney has seen the largest increase in price per square metre over the last twenty years. In 1997 the average was £814 sq/m. At that time the figure for the whole of Britain was £672.

By 2017 Hackney had seen the average price per sq/m rise to an incredible £6,942. This translates to a monumental 753% increase. Again comparing with the national figure puts the value into perspective. In the whole of Britain the average is £2,260, enjoying a rise of 236%. The gap has widened substantially.

London has the most valuable land prices in the whole of the UK but Hackney is still leagues ahead in terms of growth. In 2017 the average increase in price by sq/m was 402% in the capital. Although this is a massive increase in value it is still almost half of Hackney’s values.
