A typical Uxbridge home sells for about £475,000, but the price depends heavily on whether the place has its own front door. Semis go for more than half a million. Flats come in at under £300,000. Over the past year the market has barely moved. Uxbridge is mid-priced for London's western edge, and the averages hide a gap of roughly a quarter of a million between flats and houses.
The Land Registry recorded 213 sales in Uxbridge in the year to May 2026, at a median of about £475,000. Semi-detached houses were the biggest group at 84 sales and fetched about £535,000. Terraced houses made about £473,000 across 50 sales, and flats about £275,000 across 64. Detached houses came in at about £571,000, but only 15 of them sold. That makes the step up from a semi look cheap. It is mostly a sign of how few detached houses there are to buy.
Prices have been flat over the year. The house price index for the area showed an average of about £468,000 in May 2026, about 0.7% lower than a year earlier. Over that span, a change that small is the market standing still. Flats did a little worse, down about 3.5% on the same index. For anyone buying a flat, it is worth asking the managing agent about the service charge and how long is left on the lease. A falling flat price paired with a short lease can lose value faster than either would alone.
Band D is the most common council-tax band here, and only about 8% of homes are in Bands A and B, the two cheapest. Hillingdon's Band D bill is about £2,045 a year. Most buyers will pay something close to that figure, because the town has very few cheap bands to fall into.
Renting is a borough-wide figure. The Office for National Statistics puts typical private rent across Hillingdon at about £1,550 a month as of April 2026. That is a mean from its rent index, so it is an average across the whole borough, not a guide to what any particular listing will ask. By size, it comes to about £1,240 a month for a one-bed, £1,570 for a two-bed, £1,890 for a three-bed and £2,610 for four bedrooms or more. The index carries no reliable figure for studios or single rooms.
Income is where the numbers start to strain. The Office for National Statistics models gross household income, before tax, at about £72,000 a year across the area, and that figure is for the financial year to March 2023. Against a typical sale price of £475,000, that buys a flat comfortably and a semi only with a large deposit or a second salary. The town was once the first coaching stop out of London on the Oxford road. Today it is the first place on that road where a two-income household starts doing the sums seriously.
Of the sales that could be matched to a floor area on an energy certificate, about 83% of the total, the median price was about £5,570 per square metre. The typical home behind that figure had about 86 square metres of floor space. That is a modest, family-sized house or a generous flat, and it is the measure that shows who paid for space and who paid for the postcode.
Most homes are mid-sized. At the 2021 Census about 22% of Uxbridge households had one bedroom, 29% two, 33% three and 17% four or more. Three bedrooms is the most common size. It also matches the semis that make up the busiest part of the sales market.
House prices in Uxbridge are middling. Flats are within reach of an ordinary wage, while houses need two incomes and a deposit that took some years to save.
