About East Putney

Why look for a house in East Putney?

According to our sales manager and estate agent in East Putney, Philip Wooller, East Putney is highly sought after among young professionals and families as a result of the excellent transport facilities available, i.e. Putney Mainline station (15 minutes into Waterloo) and East Putney underground station. East Putney is traditionally cheaper than West Putney with more value per square foot for your money.

Another factor in favour of East Putney, and a selling point for estate agents, is the fact that Putney High Street, with its selection of shops, cinemas and restaurants, is a short walk from most of the areas housing stock. The delightful open space of Wandsworth Park, with its river walk and children’s playground, is also a major draw card for families.

The East Putney property market has experienced a drop of approximately 20% to 30 % over the past 6 months, but as an estate agency with a great deal of experience, Douglas & Gordon is still registering prospective purchasers in all price ranges and are agreeing house and flat sales. Despite the economic slow-down, our estate agent in Putney believes that the area and surrounds (SW15) will remain a popular place to live.

Houses and flats to let

The buoyancy of the sales market has also been reflected in the lettings department where flats and houses are seeing similar increases. Douglas & Gordon manager and letting agent in Putney, Georgie Le Hardy, says, “In the past year, we’ve seen a 15-20% increase in the prices achieved for rental accommodation. In addition many more relocation agents are consulting letting agents to place their clients in East Putney flats and houses.” The increasing popularity of Putney as a rental destination is reflected in the prices: a studio flat currently fetches £210 per week, while a large, 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom house will go for £1500 per week.

Letting agents are also able to market East Putney’s growing number of bars and cafes to young single people and couples looking for vibrant nightlife after work and at weekends. Our letting agency offers stylish riverside flats to buy or rent in East Putney, including the recently completed Putney Wharf Tower and the soon-to-be-developed Ram Brewery for attract younger clients. Large Victorian houses near the common, and the village atmosphere of West Putney are also a draw for families.

As Georgie says, “Putney offers everyone country living within London.”
