From Del Boy’s flat in Peckham to the Dursleys’ prim and proper home on Privet Drive, some of Britain’s most recognisable homes have become TV legends in their own right.
But while the characters haven’t aged a day on screen, the properties certainly have, and so have their price tags.
A new analysis by the Alan Boswell Group reveals how much these famous addresses would be worth in today’s market, and the results are eye-watering. Some have skyrocketed by nearly 2,000% since they first appeared on our screens, while others have seen only modest gains despite their star status.
So, which small-screen home has become a millionaire’s pad and which ones are still a bargain? Let’s take a trip down memory lane (and up the property ladder) to find out. The percentage in brackets shows the property’s value increase since the show first aired.
Gavin and Stacey – £150,000 (15%)
Back in 2007, Stacey’s family home would’ve been worth approximately £130,000. Nearly two decades later, it’s risen to just £150,000, a modest 15% uplift. Despite its coastal charm and TV fame, Barry remains an affordable spot, reflecting Wales’ slower pace of price growth.
The Royle Family – £170,000 (209%)
The Royles’ modest Manchester home, worth about £55,000 in 1998, could now be snapped up for around £170,000, up 209%. Manchester’s property boom, driven by urban renewal and its thriving media and tech scene, has pushed up values even in traditionally working-class suburbs.
Wallace and Gromit – £195,000 (983%)
In 1989, Wallace’s terraced home in Wigan might’ve cost a mere £18,000, perfect for a cheese-loving inventor and his trusty dog. Today, that same property could be worth around £195,000, marking a 983% jump. Wigan’s affordability and strong northern community appeal continue to attract buyers looking for value outside major cities.
Happy Valley – £240,000 (50%)
Catherine’s cosy terraced home in Hebden Bridge would’ve been around £160,000 in 2014, climbing to roughly £240,000 today, a 50% increase. In fact, it hit the market back in 2017 and sold for £255k, meaning it could be worth even more in 2025.
The town’s bohemian charm and scenic Pennine setting attract creatives and remote workers, keeping demand steady despite slower northern growth.
This Country – £366,000 (36%)
Kerry’s Cotswold semi, worth around £270,000 in 2017, could fetch about £366,000 now, a 36% gain. While rural demand has softened post-pandemic, idyllic Cotswold towns like Northleach remain magnets for buyers craving countryside life within reach of cities and road links.
Harry Potter – £375,000 (188%)
The Dursleys’ tidy three-bed detached in suburban Bracknell (fictional Privet Drive) would have cost £130,000 when The Philosopher’s Stone hit cinemas in 2001. Today? Around £375,000: a 188% increase. With strong commuter links to London and family-friendly appeal, Bracknell homes continue to perform steadily, even as the market cools elsewhere.
Only Fools and Horses – £419,000 (1,995%)
Back in 1981, the Trotters’ flat in Peckham (actually filmed at Harlech Tower, Acton, and later moved to Whitemead House in Bristol) would’ve been worth just £20,000, a modest sum for a south London council block.
Fast forward to today, and a similar flat could fetch around £419,000, a jaw-dropping 1,995% increase. Once a symbol of Thatcher-era austerity, Peckham has transformed into a creative hotspot with rising demand for well-connected, character-filled homes. Del Boy really would be a millionaire by now!
Peep Show – £456,000 (551%)
Mark and Jez’s two-bed flat in Croydon was no palace in 2003, valued at around £70,000. However, by 2025, it could sell for roughly £456,000, a 551% increase. Croydon has evolved into a lively, well-connected zone with regeneration projects, fast links to central London, and growing demand among first-time buyers.
The Inbetweeners – £653,000 (172%)
Will’s home in Ruislip would’ve cost around £240,000 in 2008. In today’s market, that same home could command £653,000, up 172%. Ruislip’s suburban charm, good schools, and green space make it a perennial favourite for London families seeking more room without leaving the capital.
Skins – £918,000 (162%)
The Stonems’ elegant Clifton townhouse cost around £350,000 back in 2007. Now, it’s estimated at £918,000, a 162% rise. Clifton’s Georgian architecture, vibrant student scene, and cultural cachet keep it among Bristol’s most desirable and expensive postcodes.
From Barry to Bristol, there’s quite the gap between TV’s cheapest and priciest homes. A whopping £768,000, in fact. It just goes to show how much location, regeneration and good transport links can change a property’s fortunes over the years.
While Only Fools and Horses’ Peckham flat and Peep Show’s Croydon pad have soared in value thanks to London’s ever-growing property demand, other spots, like Barry and Hebden Bridge, have stayed refreshingly affordable despite their TV fame.
Whether you’re a fan of Del Boy’s high-rise hustle or the Dursleys’ suburban neatness, one thing’s clear: the homes that once made great TV now tell an even bigger story about Britain’s shifting property landscape.
