Battersea Property Market: House Prices, Sold Data & Development Finance, Q3 2026 Edition

Battersea: Wandsworth riverside powerhouse anchored by the Power Station regeneration and continuing BTR supply.

The Battersea property market recorded 4,900 residential sales in the 12 months to 31 May 2026, with a median sale price of £640,000. This places Battersea £155k above the Greater London county median of £485,000, and £355k above the approximate UK median of £285,000.

Prices in Battersea have shown modest growth, a year-on-year change of +2.4%. Within Greater London, Battersea ranks 14th by price out of 51 principal towns, and 1st by transaction volume.

On a quarterly view, Battersea median prices moved from £648,000 in Q3 2024 to £625,000 in Q4 2025, a change of -3.5% over 5 quarters. The most recent quarter is excluded because HM Land Registry registrations for it are still incomplete.

Battersea shares a HM Land Registry reporting district with neighbouring towns, and the source data does not distinguish Battersea-specific sales from the wider district. The figures above reflect the whole shared district rather than Battersea alone.

London Borough of Wandsworth, the local planning authority covering Battersea, approved 198 residential planning applications and refused 58 in the last 12 months, with 67 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 77%.

Those applications propose around 973 homes, an estimated £554.9m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.

London Borough of Wandsworth covers more than one town in Greater London, so these figures are authority-wide rather than specific to Battersea alone.

Detached homes in Battersea command £2.59m, while flat properties are most accessible at £520,000. The £2.1m spread between the most and least expensive types indicates a diverse market with opportunities across the development spectrum.

HM Land Registry has so far registered 216 new-build sales in Battersea for the past 12 months, 4.4% of registered transactions. New-build sales are typically registered 6 to 18 months after completion, so this understates current delivery and is not a completions figure.

On those registered sales, new builds in Battersea sold at a premium of 92.5% to existing stock.

Across the wider Greater London market, 1,285 new-build sales have registered so far. See our Greater London property market report for the full county picture.
