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 Hillingdon at £471,000 in July 2026, with a 1.3% fall over the year. The house-price estimate is provisional. Average monthly private rent was £1,570 in August 2026, with a 2.5% rise over the year.
Use the right rental comparison
The August figures included £1,252 a month for one-bedroom homes and £1,913 for three-bedroom homes. The overall rental average mixes properties with different sizes and characteristics.
Build a property-specific budget
Check the exact address, journey requirements and condition when comparing homes. Build the rental estimate from suitable examples, and keep maintenance, insurance and any management costs visible. 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.
