BALHAM
The Balham Property Market
House-hunters in search of upmarket
restaurants, coffee bars, independent
butchers, patisseries, delis and a farmers’
market will find that property in the Balham
area opens up a world of choice. Buying or
renting Balham property places residents in
the much sought-after “Gateway to the
South”, stretching from the fringes of
Clapham South to the edges of Streatham
and Tooting. Renowned estate agents
Douglas & Gordon have seen the area go
through a transformation in recent years,
making property for sale in Balham highly
desirable.
From young professionals who benefit from
the excellent transport links into the city, to
families enjoying the low crime rate and
reputable local schools, our Balham estate
agent serves a variety of clients who
recognise the district’s appeal. Wandsworth
(SW12) is also known to be London’s
leafiest borough, and the 1600+ acres of
green space
surrounding Balham properties is yet
another reason for its popularity.

Toby Turnage, sales manager of Douglas
& Gordon’s Balham estate agency, says
that whether you’re shopping for a
flat or house for sale in Balham, you’ll be
spoilt for choice; there is a wide range
of Balham properties available. “Most of
the property for sale consists of Victorian
terraced houses, and converted and
purpose-built maisonettes and mansion
flats, some of them art deco, so there is
something for everyone” says Toby. The
property prices in the area also reflect this
diversity; a one-bedroom flat for sale in
Balham starts at £300,000 while a fivebedroom
house on Ramsden Road could
sell for up to £2 million.
Balham property prices, particularly those
in the popular “Nightingale Triangle”,
skyrocketed in recent years, increasing by
20-30%. However, Balham’s Douglas &
Gordon estate agents have no problem
shifting property in this popular
neighbourhood, which many buyers find to
be more affordable than Abbeville Village
or property “Between the Commons”.

Renting in Balham
Letting agents in Balham are able to offer a
diverse range of rental
accommodation; property for rent in
Balham could range from a flat at Du Cane
Court, Europe’s largest private apartment
block, to a large family property in the
Nightingale Triangle, near Wandsworth
Common. Annabel Hay, Douglas & Gordon’s
local lettings manager, says, “Balham used to
be far cheaper than Battersea, but it’s catching
up quickly as people realise what a fantastic
area it is to live in.”
Choosing London apartments for rent in
Balham gives tenants easy access to
fashionable bars and restaurants, as well
as the local Commons. A house for rent
in Balham also means access to brilliant
