Fulham's typical sale price is about £795,000, and that figure describes almost nobody who buys here. Flats go for well under it. The terraces go for well past a million and a half. Prices have slipped by about a tenth over the year, which takes the edge off without bringing much into reach.
The Land Registry recorded 588 sales in Fulham in the year to May 2026, at a typical price of about £795,000. Flats made up 391 of those sales, at about £650,000. Terraced houses made up 185, at about £1,650,000, and only 10 semi-detached houses sold all year, at a typical £3,275,000. With 10 sales in a year, the Fulham semi is close to a rumour with a price tag.
The official house price index puts the average for the area at about £729,000 as of May 2026, down about 11% on a year earlier. Flats were down about 12% over the same period. That is a real fall. Anyone who has been waiting for Fulham to get cheap has had a good year and is still waiting.
Band D is the most common council-tax band, and only about 5% of homes fall in bands A or B. Hammersmith and Fulham charges about £1,520 a year at band D. For a place where terraced houses cost seven figures, that is one of the few numbers a buyer might call modest.
On the Office for National Statistics' rent index, the mean private rent across the whole of Hammersmith and Fulham is about £2,760 a month as of April 2026. Broken down by size, the borough averages about £1,950 for one bedroom, about £2,550 for two, about £2,920 for three and about £4,090 for four or more.
The Office for National Statistics models typical household income across Fulham at about £81,000 a year before tax, for the financial year to March 2023. That is a healthy gross figure. Next to a typical sale of about £795,000, though, it still points most earners at the flats and leaves the terraces to people whose money came from somewhere other than a payslip.
For sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, which is about 52% of them, the median price is about £10,950 per square metre. The typical floor area behind that figure is about 118 square metres. At that rate, the width of the hallway is a financial decision.
At the 2021 census, about 25% of Fulham's homes had one bedroom, about 35% had two, about 20% had three and about 20% had four or more. Two bedrooms is the most common size, and that is the home most buyers here end up chasing.
Even after a year of falling prices, Fulham is an expensive place to buy. For anyone on an ordinary budget, a flat is where the money runs out.
