This updated market note uses official figures available at our October 2026 editorial review. The original archive date is retained; the statistics below relate to their stated months, not necessarily that earlier publication date.
The published snapshot
ONS put the average house price in Hammersmith and Fulham at £738,000 in July 2026, with a 9.0% fall over the year. The house-price estimate is provisional. Average monthly private rent was £2,825 in August 2026, with a 3.3% rise over the year.
Separate flats from houses
The ONS breakdown shows that flat prices fell by 10.0% over the year to July, compared with a 4.4% fall for semi-detached properties. That difference is a reason to compare the same property type rather than treating the borough average as a valuation.
Build a property-specific budget
For a flat purchase, assemble the lease, service-charge budget and information about planned works before calculating the income left after expenses. Dividing the borough’s average rent by its average sale price would not establish the yield on a matched property. Calculate any proposed return using the actual purchase assumptions, supportable rent and clearly stated costs.
Keep the data date attached
Local estimates can be more variable than national figures, and house-price estimates are revised. Use these figures as background research, then refresh the evidence before committing to a purchase. No borough-wide statistic guarantees demand, income or resale value.
