What a budget reaches here
A median says what a size costs. This says how much of Sutton a figure actually reaches, measured against the same listings.
When the price moves, it usually moves down.
Of the price changes we've recorded in Sutton, 93% were reductions. Asking rents here soften after listing more often than they firm up, which is worth remembering before you treat the number in the ad as final.
When one does fall in Sutton, it typically drops 8.6%, or about £200 a month, usually within 27 days of us first seeing the listing. Across London the typical fall is 5.7% and takes about 31 days, so Sutton runs deeper than the London typical. Based on 27 reductions of 1% or more.
These numbers come from Roost's own pipeline: Sutton listings gathered from estate agents across London between 8 March to 5 October 2026. Snapshot taken 5 October 2026.
It's what agents are marketing, not a census. It skews toward flats and toward the agents whose sites we watch, so it describes the market you'd actually meet while searching, not every home in Sutton. Medians throughout, because a handful of prime listings pull an average upward and tell you nothing about your search.
Rents below £500 or above £15,000 a month are set aside as data errors or ultra-prime outliers. Where a figure would rest on too few listings to trust, we leave it blank rather than guess.
