Why Keating Estate Stands Out in Herne Hill
Keating Estate team lives and works in South London, giving us deep insight into Herne Hill’s property trends, pricing, and buyer profiles. We know what sells well, where to buy, and what tenants are looking for.
Current Market Trends in Herne Hill
Despite broader economic uncertainty, Herne Hill continues to demonstrate strong resilience in the property market. Average property prices range from around £500,000 for one-bedroom flats to over £1.5 million for spacious family homes. Demand remains particularly strong for well-maintained period properties with outdoor space, which are highly sought after by buyers. Homes located near Brockwell Park or within the catchment areas of popular schools also tend to sell more quickly, reflecting the ongoing appeal of this vibrant and well-connected neighbourhood.
Lettings Market Snapshot
Herne Hill remains a popular choice for professional couples and families looking for a quieter alternative to nearby Brixton or Clapham. Two-bedroom flats typically rent for £2,000 to £2,500 per month, depending on their condition and location. Rental demand continues to outpace supply, especially for properties with gardens and flexible layouts, making it an attractive area for landlords and investors alike.
What Buyers & Sellers Should Know
For sellers, presentation and pricing are crucial, as well-staged homes tend to attract premium offers. Properties with outdoor space or potential for a home office continue to perform well, with realistically priced homes spending an average of 4 to 6 weeks on the market. For buyers, competition remains strong in popular areas, so being mortgage-ready before viewing can provide an advantage. Good opportunities can be found slightly further from the station for those seeking better value, while chain-free and recently refurbished homes tend to sell especially quickly.
What Landlords & Tenants Should Know
For landlords, Herne Hill’s consistent tenant demand provides solid rental yields, particularly for two-bedroom flats and maisonettes. Tenants are increasingly prioritizing outdoor space, energy efficiency, and modern kitchens and bathrooms when choosing a home. For tenants, it’s important to register early and act quickly on well-priced rental properties, as competition is high. Strong references and readiness to move in are often required to secure the best rentals.
