Private-rent context
London private rent annual inflation was 1.7% in March 2026 in the ONS bulletin, but Richmond ran significantly hotter — ONS reported an average monthly private rent of £2,302 in March 2026, up 6.4% year on year.

Local context
- First-time buyers paid £635,000 on average in Richmond in February 2026, materially above the £500,000 SDLT first-time buyer relief ceiling — most first-time purchases here fall outside the relief band.
- Flats fell 4.0% over the year, broadly in line with the wider London flat-market weakness; family houses were softer than the borough average but still expensive in absolute terms.
- The borough sits inside Zone 4–6 for most stations, with District line, South Western Railway and Overground services into Waterloo, Vauxhall and central London.
- Borough-level UK HPI uses a three-month moving average and recent values are provisional — single monthly movements should be read as directional rather than as definitive valuations.
