Balham property market

Balham sits in south London, mostly in Wandsworth, about 4 miles from the centre.

The median asking price across the 509 homes for sale in Balham is £650,000 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £480,000 and £970,000. That is 13% above London. Homes that actually sold in Balham went for a median £685,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).

Rising over the long run, flat over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Balham is up 8% over the last 10 years and broadly flat over the last 12 months (12 months to February 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

No: asking prices in Balham are typically higher than across London. The median asking price in Balham is £650,000 against £575k across London: 13% above London. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The premium holds from the lower end to the top of the market.
