Serving 60 stations spanning 40 miles across the capital, there is a notable difference in property prices along the District line stretch between Upminster in the east and Ealing Broadway in the west.
London’s green line is - along with many other cross-capital Tube lines - seeing huge growth in key commuter hubs in Zones 2, 3 and 4; especially following the rippling price hikes in Zone 1.
Typically, the lowest prices are in the east, particularly in places such as Dagenham, Hornchurch and Upminster; although commuters will have to contend with a longer journey into the centre of the capital. There are, however, spots along the western section of the line that haven’t quite caught up with their pricey neighbours yet and are definitely worth considering - be it for a first property or investment opportunity.
Investors with a strict budget will particularly appreciate the prices seen along the District line compared to, for instance, the Northern or Central lines, as you could find yourself paying a premium for a property within the same Zone simply because it is closer to a more renowned station and/or intersects various Tube lines. For example, the average sold price for properties around Aldgate East station is £585,460 compared to Liverpool Street - also in Zone 1 and just one stop away - with an average sold price of £780,144 - demonstrating nearly a £200,000 price difference. Similarly, at the other end of the Tube map, Acton Town’s average sold price is £650,837 compared to Hammersmith at £958,737 just a couple of stops away.
As more and more Londoners, or aspiring Londoners wishing for a postcode within the confines of the M25, consider destinations in the capital’s outer zones, properties around the District line are certainly experiencing a rise in popularity.
