Questions sellers ask about Old Street
- How much is my house worth in EC1Y?
- Across 49 sales registered with HM Land Registry in EC1Y, the median price paid is £650,000 — by type: flats & maisonettes £615,000, other £4.05m. Half of all sales sit between £525,000 and £1.11m; where yours falls depends on size, condition, lease and the exact street, which is what a valuation pins down.
- How long does it take to sell a house in EC1Y?
- The Land Registry does not record time on market, so treat any precise figure with caution. 33 sales were registered in EC1Y in the latest twelve months of data, and in our experience a well-priced London home takes around ten to sixteen weeks from launch to completion, most of it conveyancing.
- What are estate agent fees in EC1Y?
- London agents typically charge between 1% and 2% plus VAT on a sole agency basis. On the EC1Y median of £650,000, that is roughly £6,500 to £13,000 plus VAT. Multi-agency fees are higher; ask what is included before comparing.
- Do I need a valuation before selling?
- Yes. In EC1Y the middle half of registered sales spans £525,000 to £1.11m, so an area median alone tells you little about your own home. A valuation sets the asking price, the strategy and the timing — and it is free.
- How accurate are online valuations?
- An online estimate works from averages and cannot see condition, light, lease length or outside space. With prices in EC1Y ranging from £365,000 to £7m across most sales, the error can easily run to tens of thousands of pounds. Use one as a starting point, not a price.
