The latest Christies House Price Index, uses the most up to date reliable data from the Land Registry, and also confirms that property in the local area continues to represent an outstanding investment.
Local property prices increased by at least 19% in 2014 and continue to rise in 2015. Medium and long term gains are even more exceptional.
Based on past performance potential buyers will be very encouraged to see that prices have risen by 34% over the previous five years, by 45% over the previous ten years and by an astonishing 138% over the previous 15 years.
What is perhaps even more impressive is that prices are now also 21 % higher than at the previous peak of the market in early 2008.
The comparison is based on the average price of all local properties sold including flats, maisonettes, all types of houses and bungalows. Figures for June onwards 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.

In recent times, demand for properties in Cheam, North Cheam, Sutton, Stonecot Hill, Carshalton, Worcester Park, Ewell, Epsom & Banstead and surrounding towns and villages has increased dramatically. Much of this demand is due to the extremely popular local schools which are nationally renowned and attract large numbers of enquiries, ensuring that property sale levels and prices have remained well above quoted national averages.
Buyers also flood into the area to take advantage of a wide range of leisure and shopping amenities. Flourishing local communities offer popular cafés, restaurants and varied independent shops and businesses coupled with many high street names, creating an enviable mix of retail and food outlets.
These combine with excellent road and rail links, to ensure demand for property remains constant and represents an exceptional investment.
