The typical Wandsworth home sold for £625,000, from 3,086 Land Registry sales. Ward medians run from £1,349,180 in Northcote to £435,000 in West Hill.
Two official records tell you what a home in Wandsworth is worth, and they answer different questions. The UK House Price Index gives a borough average adjusted for the mix of properties sold, which is the right number for tracking the market over time. HM Land Registry’s Price Paid record gives every completed sale, which is what lets you see the gap between Northcote and Roehampton. This page uses both. No asking prices appear anywhere in it.
What a Wandsworth home actually sold for
Across the year to June 2026, 3,086 homes sold in the borough at a median price of £625,000. That is the middle sale: half of Wandsworth’s homes went for less, half for more. The mean was much higher at £793,897, dragged up by the detached houses on the Putney Heath fringe.
Those figures come from HM Land Registry’s Price Paid data, filtered to the Wandsworth local authority district and to standard market transactions only. Sales registered between 1 August 2025 and 26 June 2026 are included. Registration lags completion by weeks, so the recent months are thin and will fill in: August 2025 has 464 sales on the record, June 2026 only 87.
The spread is wide. A quarter of Wandsworth sales came in under £450,000, and 16.9% went for less than £400,000, almost all of them flats. At the other end, 21.6% of sales passed £1 million.
| Property type | Sales | Median price |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 30 | £2,557,500 |
| Semi-detached | 141 | £1,478,000 |
| Terraced | 819 | £1,050,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 2,096 | £510,000 |
That table explains the borough in one go. Flats are 68% of everything that sells here, and at a median of £510,000 they are what holds the overall figure down to £625,000. Step up to a terraced house and the median doubles to £1,050,000. There is no gentle middle rung in Wandsworth: the jump from a two-bedroom flat to a Victorian terrace is roughly half a million pounds, which is why so many households move out of the borough rather than up within it.
Detached houses barely exist. Thirty sold in a year, out of three thousand.
Ward by ward
The borough median hides a range of more than £900,000 between its priciest and cheapest wards. These medians come from the same Land Registry pull, with every sale’s postcode mapped to its ward through postcodes.io. Wards with fewer than 15 sales are not shown.
Northcote (£1,349,180) is in a class of its own, more than half a million pounds clear of the next ward. This is the grid of Victorian terraces between Battersea Rise and Wandsworth Common that estate agents branded Nappy Valley, and it is the one corner of the borough where the housing stock is overwhelmingly whole houses rather than converted flats. Southfields (£756,250), Lavender (£740,000), Wandsworth Common (£726,500) and Balham (£718,000) form the next band, all house-heavy and all within walking distance of a common.
At the other end, West Hill (£435,000), Roehampton (£437,500) and Falconbrook (£440,000) sit around £435,000 to £440,000. These are the wards with the most purpose-built flats and the largest social housing estates, and their medians describe the flat market rather than the house market.
A ward median is not a street price, and Roehampton proves it better than anywhere. It has the lowest median in the borough and it also recorded the borough’s largest single sale of the year: £9,000,000 for a detached house on Roedean Crescent, SW15, on the private roads off Putney Heath. One ward, two housing markets, sharing a number that describes neither.
Nine Elms (£795,000) deserves a note of its own. Its raw figures are distorted by new-build blocks selling in bulk, and once those non-standard transfers are stripped out the ward reads as an expensive flat market rather than a house market, which is what it is.
Which way prices are moving
Here the mix-adjusted index is the better guide, and it is not comfortable reading for sellers. The UK House Price Index put the average Wandsworth home at £659,547 in May 2026, down 6.1% over the year.
| Area | Average price | Annual change |
|---|---|---|
| Wandsworth | £659,547 | -6.1% |
| London | £544,814 | -3.7% |
| England | £292,095 | +2.3% |
Wandsworth is falling faster than London, and London is falling while England rises. A borough this dependent on flats and on buyers borrowing at London multiples feels higher interest rates earlier and harder than the national average does. The practical reading: a Wandsworth seller who priced against a 2022 comparable is roughly £40,000 adrift on a £660,000 home, and a buyer has more room to negotiate than at any point since the pandemic.
The two figures on this page differ for a reason worth understanding. £659,547 is mix-adjusted, so it answers “what has happened to the value of a typical Wandsworth home”. £625,000 is the raw middle of what actually changed hands, so it answers “what did people pay”. Both are Land Registry data. They are not in conflict.
What it means for you
If you are buying a first flat, the £510,000 flat median and the £450,000 lower quartile are your real range, and the cheaper wards, West Hill, Roehampton, Falconbrook and Furzedown, are where that money goes furthest.
If you are trading up to a house, budget for the £540,000 step from flat to terrace, and check the council tax band before you commit, since it is a running cost that outlives the mortgage rate you fix today.
If you are selling, the market is down 6.1% year on year. Pricing against a neighbour’s 2022 sale is the single most common way to sit unsold.
Commuting explains part of the ward spread. Northcote sits between Clapham Junction and Wandsworth Common stations, and Clapham Junction reaches Victoria in seven minutes. Roehampton has no station at all. The difference in journey times across the borough is priced into the streets around each one.
