South Lambeth property market: common questions

Where is South Lambeth?

South Lambeth sits in south London, mostly in Lambeth, about 2 miles from the centre. Figures for South Lambeth cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.

What is the average house price in South Lambeth?

The median asking price across the 894 homes for sale in South Lambeth is £741,500 (as of 4 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 £500,000 and £1,128,750. That is 31% above London. Homes that actually sold in South Lambeth went for a median £550,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Are house prices in South Lambeth rising or falling?

Rising over the long run, but falling over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in South Lambeth is up 10% over the last 10 years and down 3% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

Is South Lambeth cheaper than London?

No: asking prices in South Lambeth are typically higher than across London. The median asking price in South Lambeth is £741,500 against £565k across London: 31% 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.

How many homes are for sale in South Lambeth?

894 homes are on the market in South Lambeth right now, up 6% since 31 Aug, 168 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.

Of the South Lambeth listings that came off the market in the last 30 days and that we first saw after we began tracking the area, the typical one had been advertised for 81 days. Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.

How much do flats and houses cost in South Lambeth?

The median asking price for a flat in South Lambeth is £700,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £1,275,000 across 26 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How much is a two-bedroom flat in South Lambeth?

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (894 in South Lambeth), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for South Lambeth cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
  • Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked South Lambeth since September 2025.
  • London comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of London, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
  • Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
