Lambeth's housing market in 2026

The average property in Lambeth sold for £658,412 over the past year, broadly unchanged on the year before and 11% below the borough's 2020 peak of £743,052. Flats made up most sales at £499,230 on average, with terraced houses around Brixton and Herne Hill averaging £978,526 and semi-detached homes at £1,347,390.

Lambeth still being 11% below its 2020 peak means many recent buyers have a smaller mortgage relative to the area's long-run prices than they would have had five years ago. The cover needed to protect that mortgage should still be reviewed every time it's remortgaged, not just set once and forgotten.
