Two new Underground stations opened this week – Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station.
But while the areas feature lots of new housing for London, people looking to move to there and jump on the Tube’s extended Northern Line will pay a hefty price tag.
The average price of a house in Nine Elms is £726,131, according to Zoopla, but they have got cheaper. This is a drop of more than 6 per cent on a year ago, the equivalent of £50,000.
But that average price doubles to £1,501,091 once you narrow a buyer’s search area from the wider Nine Elms area to just the Nine Elms development site, which is the new housing just south of the River Thames.
And there’s the opportunity to spend much more – among the three homes we found below in the location was a flat in Battersea Power Station for £16million.
A luxury penthouse high up on the eleventh and twelfth floors of Battersea Power Station is for sale for £16million with estate agent Copperstones – see more details below
Two new Underground stations have opened this week: One at Nine Elms and the other at Battersea Power Station
Buyers looking at the Nine Elms development will need a typical budget of £1.5m, according to property website Zoopla
Billions of pounds of investment have been pumped into the area in recent years, including through the redevelopment of Battersea Power Station.
The decommissioned coal-fired power station is now luxury flats and penthouses – while there has also been the building of a new US Embassy in Nine Elms.
Despite the recent falls in average house prices near the stations, property experts suggest that values will rise, at least in the surrounding areas.

Buying agent Henry Pryor said: ‘While some might expect the new stations to be full of people fleeing the Nightmare on Nine Elms Street, these new infrastructure nodes are really going to give the area a genuine lift.
‘Lower Chelsea and the area around Battersea Park may well see prices bumped up by as much as 10 per cent, even if many buyers in SW11 thought that they were high enough.’
