Quick answer

What is living in
Putney
like?

Putney runs from the Thames up the hill to Putney Heath, on the south bank opposite Fulham. Putney High Street and Upper Richmond Road carry the shops, the station and most of the bustle. Either side are Victorian and Edwardian streets, mansion flats along Lower Richmond Road and larger houses on the roads towards the heath. The river is part of daily life, with rowing clubs on the Embankment and the Thames Path heading west. Walk the routes around each home at different times of day.

Why people love
Putney

The river at one end, the heath at the other.

The river is part of the routine

Rowing crews launch from the Embankment most mornings, and the Thames Path runs west from Putney Bridge towards Barnes.

Open space at the top of the hill

Putney Heath and Putney Lower Common are common land, kept open and unenclosed under an Act of Parliament passed in 1871.

Streets with real variety

Arts and Crafts houses in West Putney, riverside mansion flats on Lower Richmond Road and Victorian villas in East Putney, each with its own conservation area.

Landmarks & what it’s famous for

Why people move here

Find the setting that feels like home.

For some, it is a house on a quiet road in West Putney with the heath a short walk away. For others, it is a mansion flat on Lower Richmond Road, close to the river and the station.

A practical shortlist

Compare tenure, lease length, service charges and outdoor space for each property. Then walk the route to the station, see the street at different times of day and check how easily you can reach the river, the heath and the shops you will use.

Property market

Understanding
Putney
’s sales market

Ranges come from completed sales recorded by HM Land Registry, matched to EPC floor areas where possible. Compare individual homes on their exact size, tenure, lease length, service charges and setting.

Putney is mostly flats: mansion blocks, period conversions and newer riverside schemes, alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces and larger houses towards the heath. Compare individual properties on their exact size, tenure, lease length, service charges and street setting.

The right comparison matters.

Compare flats and houses on a like-for-like basis: size, tenure, lease length and street setting all deserve attention. A broad SW15 average is not a valuation of any particular home.

Asking is not achieved

An asking price is the seller’s advertised figure. An achieved price is the completed sale amount. Asking £/sq ft and achieved £/sq ft must use clearly identified, comparable datasets and floor-area methods.

Prices across Wandsworth fell 5.3% in the year to August 2026: flats by 6.5% and terraced houses by 3.1% (UK House Price Index). For an individual home, compare it with recent sales of a similar size, type and street.

Flat · studio/1-bed | Under 550 sq ft | £290k – £440k | 54 Flat · 2-bed | 550–800 sq ft | £410k – £540k | 107 Flat · 2–3 bed | 800–1,100 sq ft | £590k – £755k | 64 Flat · 3-bed+ | 1,100+ sq ft | £835k – £1.1m | 19 House · 2–3 bed | Under 1,300 sq ft | £785k – £1.15m | 41 House · 3–4 bed | 1,300–2,000 sq ft | £1.2m – £1.6m | 66 House · 4–5 bed | 2,000–3,000 sq ft | £1.7m – £2.16m | 24 Large house | 3,000+ sq ft | £3.27m – £3.71m | 14 Flats · price per sq ft | All sizes | £635 – £850 | 244 Houses · price per sq ft | All sizes | £790 – £1,000 | 145

Choose for the life you’ll lead.

When renting in Putney, think about whether you want to be near the river, the high street or the heath, and how you will get to work. The condition of the property, outdoor space and the practicality of the layout all matter.

Always review the full monthly costs, including any additional fees, and carefully examine the tenancy terms. If you are letting rooms, check licensing first: larger HMOs need a mandatory licence, and many councils license smaller ones too.

Yield is indicative, not investment advice: median recorded rent against the median achieved price for a similar-sized flat, or house for 4+ bed. It is not an achieved yield.
