Just three London boroughs have property prices with an average of less than £300,000, according to new figures from the Land Registry. All of these boroughs are either in the east or south-east of the capital.

The report suggests that only Barking and Dagenham and Newham in the east, plus Bexley in the south-east, are areas where average property prices stand below the £300,000 mark.
Of these regions, Newham showed the highest annual increase of 17.2%, which took the average cost of homes in regions such as West Ham and Canning Town to £295,306. Hackney recorded the largest monthly rise of all London regions, with the average price of a property in the area now £616,004.[1]
Figures from the report show that the average cost of a property in London has risen to £474,544.
