2. Demand Remains Strong in Key Areas

Herne Hill Village

Still the heart of the neighbourhood, properties near the station and the Sunday market attract swift interest.

Stradella Road & Winterbrook Road

High-end family homes here often sell off-market or within days of listing.

Railton Road & Milkwood Road

These roads offer a mix of flats and maisonettes with better value per square foot — great for first-time buyers.

3. Rental Market: High Demand, Limited Stock

Renters are drawn to:

  • Easy commutes (Herne Hill station and Thameslink)
  • Brockwell Park proximity
  • High-spec flats and conversions

Rental Averages:

  • One-bed flat: £1,700–£2,000/month
  • Two-bed maisonette: £2,300–£2,600/month
  • Three-bed home: £3,200–£4,000/month

Tenants often renew due to community feel, landlord responsiveness, and area amenities.

4. Buyer Trends in 2025

This year’s buyers include:

  • Families upsizing within South London
  • Relocating professionals seeking space and greenery
  • First-time buyers moving from more central zones

Outdoor space, natural light, and modern interiors are top of the wish list. EPC ratings and energy-efficient features are also more important than ever.

5. Lettings & Landlord Outlook

With high rental yields and low voids, Herne Hill remains attractive for landlords. Many long-term investors are upgrading properties to attract premium tenants.

Popular among:

  • Professional couples
  • Young families
  • Remote workers needing space and peace

Let-only and full management services are both in demand depending on landlord availability.

6. Off-Market Activity is Growing

Due to continued demand and limited stock, many sellers choose off-market sales to control viewings and timing. At Keating Estates, we regularly match buyers to properties before they go online.
