Christies House Price Index

The latest Christies House Price Index, using the most up to date reliable data from the Land Registry, confirms that property in the local area continues to represent an outstanding investment.

Medium and long term gains are exceptional. Based on past performance anyone looking to buy a property in the coming months will be very encouraged to see that prices have risen by 52% over the previous ten years and by an astonishing 193% over the previous 15 years.

What is perhaps even more impressive is that in spite of the down turn in the property market since 2007/2008 prices are still 4% higher than they were 5 years ago.

The comparison is based on the average price of all local properties sold including flats, maisonettes, all types of houses and bungalows. Figures for November & December are not yet available - the Index will be revised as soon as the data is released so please check this page regularly for any updates.

Over the years, and particularly in recent times, demand for properties in Cheam and the nearby areas, such as Sutton, Ewell, Epsom, Banstead and Kingswood, has increased dramatically. Much of this demand is due to the location of the properties we sell, which are ideally situated on the fringes of London, bordering rural Surrey greenbelt countryside with picture postcard villages and market towns full of rich heritage and character.

Buyers flood into the area to take advantage of a wide range of leisure and shopping amenities. The local schools are nationally renowned and attract large numbers of enquiries, ensuring that property sale levels and prices have remained well above quoted national averages.

Cheam Village has a flourishing local community with many popular cafés, restaurants and varied independent shops and businesses; this, coupled with many high street names, creates an enviable mix of retail and food outlets. Combined with excellent road and rail links, demand for property remains constant and represents an exceptional investment.

Christies have an unparalleled understanding of the area and are dedicated to ensuring customers are always informed – not just on the property market and prices ,but also the area and amenities. When looking at buying a new home, we believe it is imperative that our purchasers are fully informed about all aspects of the potential move.

Your estate agent should be able to answer any of your questions regarding this. We are proud to represent this area and convey that passion to anyone looking to move here.
