Where Wandsworth and Lambeth sit in table of UK house prices

UK house prices are an ever-popular topic of conversation, particularly in Battersea and Brixton where property values have grown by more than 10% each year for the past five years.

Go back further and in Brixton, for example, homes sold for an average price of £197,601 in August 2000, according to the Land Registry.

In that time, the area has undergone significant change. Alongside its vibrant, multicultural communities, bustling markets and the creative energies that Brixton residents have long been known for, new retail developments – such as POP Brixton – and modern homes have been created.

The Ofsted-rated schools and green space on offer in Battersea, meanwhile, continues to attract families and young professionals looking for the perfect mix of local amenities on the doorstep yet still be within easy reach of central London.

How much is a home in Battersea or Brixton? The value of property in both the areas that Eden Harper has an in-depth knowledge of depends on a range of factors, including whether it is a house or flat, the size of the property, its condition, location and even whether it is leasehold or freehold.

To help you calculate how much your home in Battersea in Brixton is worth, Eden Harper looks into the latest UK House Price Index for the whole of England plus the London boroughs of Wandsworth and Lambeth.

As a leading independent estate agent in Battersea and Brixton, Eden Harper is aware the UK House Price Index is not the only measure of local property values.
