Roger has been great to work with over the last few years, I got my first mortgage with him and have used him for our remortgages since. He was always quick to respond and explained everything clearly.

Roger assisted me in purchasing my first home during lockdown. He was helpful and provided great guidance during this process, especially as a first time buyer. I have since used him to remortgage too. Would recommend his services.

Kingston upon Thames's housing market in 2026

The average property in Kingston upon Thames sold for £588,860 over the past year, down 1% on the year before and broadly in line with the borough's 2022 peak of £593,178. Flats sold for £390,733 on average, with terraced houses around Surbiton and New Malden averaging £606,127 and semi-detached homes reaching £680,071.

Kingston's prices sitting almost exactly at their 2022 peak means buyers here aren't benefiting from the discounts seen elsewhere in London, all the more reason to make sure mortgage protection is reviewed at the point of purchase rather than assumed to be cheaper than it actually is.
