Wandsworth Property Market: House Prices, Sold Data & Development Finance, Q3 2026 Review

The Wandsworth property market recorded 5,019 residential sales in the 12 months to 30 June 2026, with a median sale price of £640,000. This places Wandsworth £160k above the Greater London county median of £480,000, and £355k above the approximate UK median of £285,000.

Prices in Wandsworth have shown modest growth, a year-on-year change of +2.4%. Within Greater London, Wandsworth ranks 15th by price out of 51 principal towns, and 2nd by transaction volume.

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

The local planning authority for Wandsworth approved 29 residential planning applications and refused 19 in Q3 2026 (1 July to 30 September 2026), with 42 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 60%. Planning figures come from local planning authority records compiled by Landstack, retrieved on 3 October 2026. Councils and Landstack can take several days to publish decisions, so decisions made in the final days of Q3 2026 may not all be included yet.

Schemes approved in Q3 2026, together with those still awaiting a decision, propose around 530 homes, an estimated £330.0m 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.

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