About the Chislehurst Property Market
Chislehurst is known as one of South East London’s more affluent, semi-rural suburbs, with a strong concentration of larger period and executive family homes around Chislehurst Common. Recent sold-price data puts the average property price in Chislehurst at around £980,000, with detached houses averaging around £1,195,000 and flats around £271,000. Given the higher average values and the number of conservation areas across Chislehurst, applications can often involve larger loan sizes, higher-value remortgaging and planning considerations relevant to renovations or extensions.
