The area is marked by a high proportion of private and social renters, and owner-occupation sits at one of the lowest levels in Britain.

The price-to-income ratio of 6.6 and rent-to-income ratio of 31.6% are both typical for the capital, reflecting the area's relative affordability for tenants and buyers by London standards.

Looking ahead, Tulse Hill's appeal is likely to remain strong for renters, especially younger professionals and students, given the area's high concentration of degree-educated residents (in the 90th percentile) and those in their twenties and thirties (both above the 90th percentile). The local rental market is supported by a high proportion of private renters and relatively affordable asking rents for London, with a current median asking rent for a 2-bedroom flat at £2,250 and for a 3-bedroom house at £2,850.
While capital appreciation looks steady rather than spectacular, the combination of robust rental yields and strong tenant demand should underpin income-focused strategies. Investors should expect the area to offer stability and reliable cash flow rather than rapid price gains. Tulse Hill will likely continue to attract those prioritising rental income and long-term resilience over short-term speculation.
