Knight's Hill, Lambeth: Living Costs
Cost of Living
Living costs in Knight's Hill are higher than the UK average, mainly because groceries and transport cost more here. If you're thinking about moving or renting out a property, you'll need to factor this into your budget.
Monthly costs come to around £750, compared to £640 across the UK. Groceries run £260 a month instead of the national £224, and transport is notably pricier at £170 versus £103. Utilities, internet, and council tax sit close to the national average.
If you're a landlord, these higher costs mean your tenants will need decent salaries to manage them without stretching themselves. Pitch your rent too high without considering this, and you risk longer void periods. The costs here are broadly in line with nearby neighbourhoods like Gipsy Hill and West Dulwich, which have a similar overall picture.
