In cash terms the typical KT home went from £90,000 in 1995 to £550,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 181%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the KT median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2000 (+19.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−3.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 29% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £900,000 against £333,000 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

| Type | Median (2026) | Sales that year | All-time sales |

| Semi-detached | £640,000 | 912 | 86,120 |
| Terraced | £500,000 | 722 | 63,713 |
| Flats | £333,000 | 918 | 93,276 |
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −3.5% | −5.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.1% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.1% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in KT
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 5,787 sales completed in KT. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 12,739 sales a year before the financial crisis and 6,963 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around KT
The local authority for KT is Kingston upon Thames, the local authority covering most of the KT area (parts fall under Elmbridge and Epsom and Ewell, where rents differ), and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,803 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,372 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,827, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Kingston upon Thames
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £550,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,803 a month (£21,636 a year) works out at a 3.9% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
Common questions on KT (Kingston upon Thames)
Is KT (Kingston upon Thames) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in KT (Kingston upon Thames)?
Are property prices falling in KT (Kingston upon Thames)?
Are KT prices heading up or down?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 3% over five years in cash but down 19% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
What is for sale in KT right now

What is for sale against what sells in KT
Flats are 44% of what is listed in KT but 29% of what sold over 2024 and 2025: the market is being offered more of them than it has been taking, which tends to give a buyer of one room to talk.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 22% | 23% |
| Semi-detached | 26% | 28% |
| Terraced | 8% | 20% |
| Flats | 44% | 29% |
The listing shares count homes published to HomesIndex by agents today; the sales shares count HM Land Registry registrations. Listings typed only as "house", "bungalow" or similar, which the register would file under one of the four forms, are excluded from the listing side (107 of them here).
When homes in KT change hands
March is when KT changes hands most (11.7% of the 43,149 sales dated 2021 to 2025); April is the quiet end at 6.3%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 3,127 | 7.2% |
| February | 3,354 | 7.8% |

What another bedroom costs in KT
Real sold prices by size across the KT area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £530,000 | £625,000 (+18%) | £750,000 (+20%) | £955,000 (+27%) | £1,300,000 (+36%) |
| Semi-detached | £399,950 | £487,000 (+22%) | £600,000 (+23%) | £757,344 (+26%) | £900,000 (+19%) |

| Flat | £258,501 | £335,000 (+30%) | £395,000 (+18%) | £485,000 (+23%) | £630,000 (+30%) |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
