With an average of 4,813 homes being sold across London each and every month, that\u2019s \u00a32.5bn worth of bricks and mortar changing hands between homebuyers and sellers on a monthly basis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Most popular London postcodes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the most popular London postcodes, Croydon ranks top, where 84 homes are sold per month within the CR0 postcode.<\/p>\n<p>Wandsworth SW18 postcode is also proving popular, with an average of 69 homes sold per month, while the boroughs SW11 (55) and SW17 (50) postcodes also make the top 10.<\/p>\n<p>Merton\u2019s SW19 postcode is the third most popular pocket of the London property market at present, where an average of 63 homes are selling per month.<\/p>\n<p>With 63 property purchases per month, E17 in Waltham Forest is currently the most in demand area of East London, while Hackney\u2019s N1 postcode isn\u2019t far behind with a monthly average of 55 homes sold.<\/p>\n<p>E14 in Tower Hamlets (50), Bromley\u2019s BR1 postcode (50) and SW16 in Lambeth (48) complete the top 10 most popular London postcodes in the current market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Most valuable London postcodes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to total market value, Wandsworth\u2019s SW11 postcode sits top of the table. With an average property price of \u00a3916,946, the 55 homes sold on average each month equate to a total market value of \u00a350.4m.<\/p>\n<p>The SW6 postcode of Hammersmith and Fulham sees \u00a345.2m worth of property sold on a monthly basis, with Wandsworth\u2019s SW18 (\u00a345.1m), SW1 straddling Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea (\u00a344.6m) and SW19 in Merton (\u00a344.3m) also seeing more than \u00a340m worth of homes sold each month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Director of Benham and Reeves, Marc von Grundherr, commented:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cLondon has been brandished as the nation\u2019s worst performing area of the property market over the last two years, with pandemic complications leading to a muted level of market activity which has also dampened house price growth when compared to the astronomical rates seen across the rest of the UK.<\/p>\n<p>But as is often the case with any topline look at the property market, this broad view of London\u2019s performance doesn\u2019t tell the whole story and there are plenty of postcodes within the capital that are currently enjoying a robust degree of demand from homebuyers.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to note that while house prices haven\u2019t increased by the same margin as the rest of the UK, they\u2019re still up 8.2% in the last year. As a result, the capital remains head and shoulders above the rest in terms of house price pedigree, with \u00a32.5bn worth of property changing hands on a monthly basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<div
