From the exhibition ‘The Golden Age of Social Housing? Life on the Gascoyne Estate’. [14 February - 3 June 2017]
Newspaper Headline, 1999
Hackney has seen the highest house price rises in the country.
Over the last 20 years these have increased a dramatic 939%. Three bedroom flats in the original Gascoyne I estate now sell for more than £460,000.
Similarily, steeply rising rents have priced many out of privately renting, and even out of Hackney itself.
Today, Hackney Council houses more than twice the number of families living in homeless hostels than any other London borough.
