In cash terms the typical KT6 home went from £72,500 in 1995 to £464,200 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 195%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 28% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the KT6 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 1999 (+30.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.8%). 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, 57% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £975,000 against £390,000 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 357 sales completed in KT6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 892 sales a year before the financial crisis and 438 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What tenants pay around KT6
The local authority for KT6 is Kingston upon Thames, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,803 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,372 a month here against £2,827 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Kingston upon Thames
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £464,200 median sold price, £1,803 a month is £21,636 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How KT6 trades
The stock is flat-led: flats and maisonettes were 62% of last year's sales, so the headline median tracks the flat market more than the house market. Among the 24 measurable districts of its area, KT6 ranks 22 by median price: towards the affordable end.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is down 5% over five years in cash but down 25% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
KT6's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in KT6 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 44 homes on the market right now, from 2 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 14% above the KT6 median sold price.
KT6 registered 357 sales in the last twelve months; the 44 homes listed now would take about 6 weeks to clear at that rate. The count covers agents publishing to HomesIndex, so the real stock is larger.
2% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

Listed against sold: the KT6 mix
In KT6, detached homes made up 9% of recent sales yet only 0% of today's listings. Demand outrunning supply for a type is the clearest sign a fairly priced one will go quickly.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 0% | 9% |
| Semi-detached | 24% | 17% |
| Terraced | 22% | 15% |
| Flats | 54% | 59% |
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.
The KT6 sales calendar
Across the 2,683 sales completed in KT6 from 2021 to 2025, March was the busiest month for completions (11.6% of the total) and April the quietest (6.5%). 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

|---|---|---|
| January | 187 | 7.0% |
| February | 214 | 8.0% |

What another bedroom costs in KT
What homes of each size actually sold for across the KT area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £334,000 | £435,000 (+30%) | £520,000 (+20%) | £662,000 (+27%) | £811,500 (+23%) |
| Flat | £258,501 | £335,000 (+30%) | £395,000 (+18%) | £485,000 (+23%) | £630,000 (+30%) |
Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
