In this episode of the Construction Capital podcast, we unpack the data, the policy, and the capital stack reality shaping development opportunities across Greater London in 2026.\nThe headline numbers are stark. London's average house price is down 3.3% year on year to £542,000, the seventh consecutive month of annual falls and the weakest performance of any English region.

Sold price data borough by borough, including the 11.2% fall in Kensington and Chelsea and 10.8% drop in Westminster against the gains in outer London. Why the £650 per square foot viability threshold is now the single most important number in London development.
