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

The Brixton property market recorded 3,808 residential sales in the 12 months to 31 May 2026, with a median sale price of £539,100. This places Brixton £54k above the Greater London county median of £485,000, and £254k above the approximate UK median of £285,000.

Prices in Brixton have been broadly stable, a year-on-year change of -0.2%. Within Greater London, Brixton ranks 23th by price out of 51 principal towns, and 7th by transaction volume.

On a quarterly view, Brixton median prices moved from £565,000 in Q3 2024 to £512,500 in Q4 2025, a change of -9.3% over 5 quarters. The most recent quarter is excluded because HM Land Registry registrations for it are still incomplete.

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

London Borough of Lambeth, the local planning authority covering Brixton, approved 678 residential planning applications and refused 195 in the last 12 months, with 169 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 78%.

Those applications propose around 2,196 homes, an estimated £1.2bn 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 Lambeth covers more than one town in Greater London, so these figures are authority-wide rather than specific to Brixton alone.

HM Land Registry has so far registered 132 new-build sales in Brixton for the past 12 months, 3.5% 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.

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.
