The average Harrow home sold for £530,021 in May 2026, up 0.4% while London fell 3.7%. Prices by type, the HA postcode ladder and how long homes take to sell.

Every Harrow street has two prices: the one in the agent’s window and the one a buyer actually paid. Only the second is a fact, and HM Land Registry records it when each sale completes. This page reads those sold-price records plainly: the borough average, what each property type goes for, how Pinner and Stanmore differ from central Harrow, and the quiet headline underneath, which is that Harrow is holding its value while London as a whole falls.

The quick answer

The average home in the London Borough of Harrow sold for £530,021 in May 2026, the latest month in the official UK House Price Index, which is built from completed Land Registry sales rather than asking prices. That is up 0.4% over twelve months. Set it against London as a whole, down 3.7% over the same year (UK HPI), and Harrow reads as one of the steadier corners of the capital: not booming, but not giving ground either.

The recent shape of the market: the borough average peaked at about £545,000 in August 2025, eased through the winter, and has sat flat around £529,000 to £533,000 since December. A market treading water, in other words, which after the falls elsewhere in London counts as quiet strength.

What it means for you

If you are selling, houses are carrying the market and flats are not: semis and terraces rose 2.0% and 2.3% over the year while flats fell 2.1% (UK HPI, May 2026). Price realistically from day one; on PropertySolvers’ Land Registry analysis the typical Harrow sale completes about £17,000 (roughly 3%) under asking and takes an average of 142 days, so a hopeful price mostly buys you a longer wait. Stanmore currently sells fastest, at around 96 days. If you are buying, the pressure point is the classic Metroland semi; flats are the one type getting cheaper, which is where the negotiating room is. A first-time buyer in Harrow paid an average of £436,771 in May 2026, up 0.4% on the year (UK HPI).

Prices by property type

These are the borough averages for May 2026 from the Harrow UK HPI data, the smallest geography the official index publishes:

  • Detached houses: £1,201,514 (down 0.7% on the year), the big plots of Stanmore, Pinner and Harrow on the Hill, and rarer than in any outer-London borough you would compare Harrow with.
  • Semi-detached houses: £667,978 (up 2.0%), the definitive Harrow home, street after street of 1930s Metroland semis from Rayners Lane to Kenton.
  • Terraced houses: £540,326 (up 2.3%), the strongest riser, sitting almost exactly on the borough average.
  • Flats and maisonettes: £321,209 (down 2.1%), the entry point, including the new blocks going up around Wealdstone and central Harrow that we track on our planning news page.

Harrow sits just under the London average, and the gap is closing from both ends: Harrow flat to rising, London falling.

Within the borough the ladder is real. On PropertySolvers’ Land Registry analysis, Pinner averages £481,333 (up 2.04% on the year) and Stanmore £454,083 (down 1.66%), both figures for the towns’ rolling-year sales. By postcode district the spread is wider still: HA3 (Wealdstone, Harrow Weald and Kenton) averages £710,400 and HA2 (North and South Harrow) £608,875, while HA1 around the town centre averages £525,000 and HA7 (Stanmore) £439,900, the difference being each district’s mix of semis versus flats. Across the wider HA postcode area, Plumplot’s Land Registry mapping puts the average at £560,000 for the year to June 2026, ranking HA the 13th most expensive of 105 postcode areas in England and Wales, with the cheapest sector (HA1 2, by the town centre) at £355,000 and the dearest (HA6 2, Northwood, just over the borough boundary) at £1 million.

How the market feels on the ground

Turnover has thinned sharply: Plumplot counts about 3,200 sales across the HA area in the year to June 2026, down 30% on the year before, with the busiest price band £500,000 to £750,000. Fewer sales with steady prices means sellers who price sensibly still find buyers, but there is no queue behind them. Rightmove’s Harrow sold-price page tells the same story from the portal side: an overall average of £545,593 for the last year, described as similar to the year before and about 3% above the 2022 peak, with the majority of sales being semi-detached houses at an average of £653,619.

What underpins it all is the commute: nearly every corner of the borough is on the Tube or a fast train, and our Harrow trains to London page sets out what that network actually delivers. The green edges help too; the case for a weekend here is on our things to do in Harrow page.
