Harrow house prices: what the official figures say
The borough average is £530,021, and a detached home in Harrow now costs more than the London detached average.
The official measure of house prices is the UK House Price Index, produced from Land Registry data. It runs about two months behind, so the most recent figures cover May 2026.

The all-types average was £530,021. Detached homes averaged £1,201,514, down 0.7% over the year. Semi-detached homes averaged £667,978, up 2.0%. Terraced homes averaged £540,326, up 2.3%. Flats and maisonettes averaged £321,209, down 2.1%.
The split matters more than the headline. The borough average was almost flat at 0.4%, but that conceals houses rising and flats falling — which is a different market for a first-time buyer than for someone trading up.

Against London
In the same month the London average across all property types was £544,814, down 3.7% over the year — the weakest annual figure of any English region. England as a whole averaged £292,095, up 2.3%.
So Harrow sits just below the London average overall, but rising where London is falling. And its detached homes, at £1.2m, are above the London detached average of £1,138,974 — an outer borough outperforming the capital in one segment.
