Property Consultants in Surbiton (KT5 and KT6)

Surbiton is a suburb in south-west London, in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, which grew as a “new town” after its railway station moved to its present site in 1838, according to a council appraisal. This page brings together official information about the area for anyone thinking of buying or selling a home in Surbiton.

Property in Surbiton

Surbiton addresses include KT6, where the station is (KT6 4PE), and KT5, where Fishponds Park and Berrylands station are. The local authority is the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, whose Surbiton neighbourhood page lists the wards of Alexandra, Berrylands, Tolworth, Surbiton Hill, and St Mark’s and Seething Wells.

The council’s Southborough Conservation Area Appraisal, from 2009, describes an area east of Surbiton town centre of mainly detached houses on generous plots, two to two and a half storeys, with mature trees and set-back front gardens, in Victorian Gothic, Queen Anne and Arts and Crafts styles. It says the roads were formed between 1880 and 1895 and that most of the area was built up by the 1950s.

Kingston’s page on the Victoria Avenue conservation area describes a cohesive set of two-storey red brick houses built from 1893 to 1904 on former farmland. Its page on the St Andrew’s Square conservation area, designated in 1971, describes Victorian housing from the 1860s to the 1880s, including a garden square with three-storey brick terraces built from 1876 to 1884. A draft council appraisal of the town centre, dated January 2008, says houses were converted to shops from about 1870 and describes buildings that are mainly shops with flats or offices above, from late Regency to the 1930s. These documents date from 2008 and 2009, or are undated web pages, so they show the area’s character rather than today’s market.

House prices in Surbiton

The UK House Price Index, produced by the Office for National Statistics with HM Land Registry data, publishes figures by local authority rather than for Surbiton alone. For July 2026, the latest month available, the average price in Kingston upon Thames was £592,000. That is 3.3% higher than the £572,000 recorded for July 2025. These are Kingston-wide figures, and estimates for the most recent months are provisional and may be revised.

By type of home, the July 2026 averages for Kingston upon Thames were:

• Detached: £1,305,000
• Semi-detached: £812,000
• Terraced: £592,000
• Flats and maisonettes: £365,000

An average across a whole borough cannot tell you what a particular home in Surbiton is worth. Figures for each type of home rest on fewer sales, so they can move sharply from month to month. For individual sales, HM Land Registry’s Price Paid Data records residential property sales in England and Wales that have been submitted for registration, so the very latest sales may not yet be included.
