The typical Epsom home sells for about half a million. A flat costs about £300,000. A semi costs more than double that. A detached house gets close to a million. Which kind of house you buy matters more to the price than which street it is on.
The Land Registry recorded 344 sales in Epsom in the year to May 2026, with a median price of about £513,000. That median is the middle of a wide spread. The 103 flats sold had a median of about £305,000 and the 72 terraced houses about £485,000. The 104 semis went for about £630,000, and the 65 detached houses for about £935,000. Semis and flats sold in the largest numbers, so the town's median lands between two markets that barely overlap.
The official house price index for the area put the average price at about £569,000 as of May 2026, up 2.9% on a year earlier. That is steady growth. Flats rose by just 0.7% over the same year, which is close to standing still. About a third of Epsom's homes are flats, so a lot of owners spent the year mostly watching other people's houses go up in value.
Band D is the most common council-tax band in Epsom, and only about 5% of homes fall in bands A and B. A band D bill came to about £2,530 a year. The valuation list holds 140 homes in band H and 120 in band A. A town with more homes in the top band than the bottom one tells you a lot about who it was built for.
Across the borough of Epsom and Ewell, private rent averaged about £1,680 a month in April 2026, with no change on the year before. That figure comes from the Office for National Statistics' rental index. It is a borough-wide mean, so it covers more than Epsom's own streets and is not the middle of current listings. By size, a one-bed averaged about £1,180, a two-bed about £1,470, a three-bed about £1,860 and four bedrooms or more about £2,590. There are no figures for studios or single rooms.
The Office for National Statistics models typical household income across Epsom at about £76,000 in the financial year to March 2023. That figure is gross, before tax, and it is three years older than the prices it is being set against. Against a median sale of about £513,000, a household on that income can afford a flat on an ordinary mortgage. A semi needs a big deposit, two good incomes or the proceeds of a London sale. Gross income always looks better on paper than in the monthly budget.
Epsom's median price per square metre is about £6,100, across sales with a typical floor area of 94 square metres. It covers only the 75% of sales the Land Registry could match to an energy certificate's floor area, so a quarter of transactions are not included. Ask for the floor area on the energy certificate of any house you look at, and compare its price per square metre with that median. It is the simplest way to see whether an asking price is high.
At the 2021 census, 14% of Epsom's households had one bedroom, 28% had two, 30% had three and 28% had four or more. Almost as many homes have four bedrooms or more as have three. Buyers looking for something small have the narrowest choice in town.
Prices in Epsom are middling for the area, though they hurt first-time buyers. Flats are within reach and the larger houses cost a lot more, and the past year's change was too small to unsettle anyone.
