What do homes cost in Southborough?

£409,050 typical price, the 12 months to September 2026

  • Flat or maisonette £215,000 16 sales

Each bar is that kind's typical price, against the most expensive kind here.

Across the whole TN4 district, Southborough's main postcode district: a typical £425,000.

Sales at the postcodes ONS places in Southborough: standard sales of homes at market value. A typical price is the median, the middle sale. Sales take weeks to be registered, so the last month or two are incomplete. Each postcode page gives the figure for its own postcode sector.

Are new homes being built in Southborough?

6 of the 252 postcodes now in use in Southborough came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to September 2025, 0 of the 160 homes sold in Southborough were newly built (0%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the TN4 district, Under 1%.

A new postcode is often a new street or estate, but Royal Mail also makes new postcodes when it reorganises old ones, so not every one means new homes. Only postcodes still in use are counted.

New homes among the homes sold

Standard sales of homes at market value that HM Land Registry marks as newly built. New homes take longer to be registered than other sales, so the latest 12 months count fewer of them than were sold. A share is given from 5 sales or more.
