Georgian character, everyday ease

Richmond Green, the riverside and the Hill keep their period houses, while George Street and the station take care of daily life.

Landmarks & what it’s famous for

A town shaped by the river and the hill

Three places to orient yourself: the view from the Hill, the oldest Thames bridge in Greater London and the Green at the heart of the town.

Property market

Understanding
Richmond
’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.

Richmond is a mix of period flats and conversions, Georgian and Victorian houses, and newer apartments near the station and the river. 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 TW9 or TW10 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 Richmond upon Thames were unchanged in the year to August 2026: flats fell 2.6% and terraced houses rose 1.1% (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 | £315k – £445k | 26 Flat · 2-bed | 550–800 sq ft | £475k – £620k | 58 Flat · 2–3 bed | 800–1,100 sq ft | £630k – £835k | 38 Flat · 3-bed+ | 1,100+ sq ft | £780k – £1.9m | 5 House · 2–3 bed | Under 1,300 sq ft | £790k – £1.06m | 57 House · 3–4 bed | 1,300–2,000 sq ft | £1.31m – £1.84m | 31 House · 4–5 bed | 2,000–3,000 sq ft | £2.09m – £3.09m | 26 Large house | 3,000+ sq ft | £3.6m – £4.8m | 6 Flats · price per sq ft | All sizes | £705 – £940 | 127 Houses · price per sq ft | All sizes | £855 – £1,175 | 120

Choose for the life you’ll lead.

When renting in Richmond, think about whether you want to be close to the station, the river or Richmond Park, 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. It is not an achieved yield. 4+ bed yields are not shown because those rents are borough-wide.
