The flat was very comfortable to live in, furnished very nicely and the landlord was very communicative and helpful. The flat is next to a kindergarten, however, so sometimes gets a bit noisy.

The home and the area around it

Energy certificate (EPC)

from the government register
D
Energy rating D (67 out of 100)Could reach B (82) with the improvements listed on the certificate
What this means for you. Average: the most common rating, and it means real heating costs in winter. Our advice: ask for last winter’s energy bills, check for draughts, single glazing and black mould in corners, and ask the landlord what has been improved since the certificate. The typical home in England and Wales is rated D. Your bills also depend on how you use the heating, your energy tariff and how many people live there. More about EPC ratings

Safety: is this a safe area?

Less crime than most of London

One of the quieter parts of London.

We compare violence, robbery and home burglary per resident (the crimes that matter most for your own safety) with the other 678 wards in London. In October 2025 to September 2026, Munster ward (Hammersmith and Fulham) had 19 of these crimes per 1,000 residents; a typical London ward had 32. All crimes: 54 per 1,000 residents (typical: 80). Source: Metropolitan Police and ONS population figures.

What the police recorded nearby

In September 2026, police recorded 915 crimes and incidents within about a mile of this postcode. The most common were:

Violence and sexual offences202
Anti-social behaviour200
Shoplifting105
Other theft99
Vehicle crime68

A mile around a postcode takes in main roads, stations and shops, so busy and central areas always have higher numbers. The figures don’t tell you how safe one street or building is.

Local police: Munster neighbourhood team · Source: data.police.uk (Home Office, Open Government Licence). We check for new figures every week.

What this means for you. Every area has some crime, and busy ones record more. Use these figures to see which problems are common here, not to judge one street or building.

Car crime is common here: if you have a car, ask about safe parking.

“Violence and sexual offences” covers everything from harassment and threats to assault, and many cases are between people who know each other.

A lot of shoplifting usually just means there are many shops nearby.

Do

  • Walk the street in the evening as well as in the day before you sign, and check the front door, the locks and how the entrance works.
  • Use your phone away from the kerb, ideally with your back to a wall or inside a shop, and keep looking around you.
  • Use cash machines inside banks or shops when you can, especially after dark. Cover the keypad and put your cash and card away before you walk off.
  • Lock the door and windows, even when you’re in, and plan a well-lit route home at night.
  • Save 999 for emergencies and 101 for everything else. On trains and at stations, text British Transport Police on 61016.

Don’t

  • Don’t walk along with your phone held out near the road, where thieves on bikes and scooters can grab it.
  • Don’t count your cash at the machine, or accept “help” from a stranger there. If anything looks stuck to the card slot, use another machine.
  • Don’t leave bags, phones or laptops on view in a car or on a café table.
  • Don’t let strangers follow you in through the building’s front door.

Bills: council tax and energy

Council tax in Hammersmith and Fulham

2026–27, the council’s average. Includes the police and fire and the Mayor of London.

BandA yearA month
A£1,013£84
B£1,182£98
C£1,351£113
D£1,520£127
E£1,857£155
F£2,195£183
G£2,533£211
H£3,039£253

Which band is this home? We don’t know the exact band. The advert should show it, or ask the agent. You can also look it up for free on GOV.UK. Flats are usually in bands A to D.

A month is the year spread over 12 months. Councils usually take 10 payments (April to January), but you can ask for 12. Source: GOV.UK (MHCLG).

Pay less

  • You’re the only adult living there: 25% off.
  • Everyone is a full-time student: no council tax. Send the council the student certificate from your university or college.
  • You live with students: they aren’t counted, so if you’re the only other adult, you get 25% off.
  • Low income or on benefits: Council Tax Reduction can cut the bill, in some councils to nothing.
  • A disabled person needs extra space for their needs, like a room or room for a wheelchair: the bill can go down by one band.
  • Some people aren’t counted, like under-18s, apprentices, student nurses and live-in carers.
  • Each tenant rents a room in a shared house: the landlord usually pays.

Register when you move in

  1. Tell Hammersmith and Fulham council on its website within a few days of moving in: your moving-in date, the landlord’s or agent’s details and every adult who lives there.
  2. Apply for any discount at the same time, on the same website.
  3. When you move out, tell them the date, so you only pay until then.

Energy bills

About £195 a month

Between £143 and £271 a month, depending on how you use it:

Careful£143 a monthHeating only when you’re in, at about 18°C. Hot water on a timer, short showers, one or two people.
Typical£195 a monthWhat a busy rented flat like this uses: the heating on most evenings, daily showers, two or more people.
Comfortable£271 a monthWarm all day at 21°C or more, hot water always ready, long showers or baths, people at home most of the day.

Gas and electricity: the heating is a gas boiler (the energy certificate says “Boiler and radiators, mains gas”). With a monthly Direct Debit you pay the same amount all year, in summer too, because it covers the whole year’s use.

An estimate, not a quote, from what 3-bedroom or bigger flats with gas in London really used in 2024 (government meter data) and the bills tenants tell us they pay. Rented flats are often shared and used more than the average home, so typical is what the busier quarter of these flats use and careful is what the average home uses. Adjusted for this flat’s energy rating (D) and priced at Ofgem’s price cap for 1 October to 31 December 2026: electricity 26.32p per kWh plus 54.83p a day, gas 7.97p per kWh plus 29.68p a day. Your bill also depends on the supplier and tariff and how many people live there. Water and broadband aren’t included.

Who supplies the energy and the internet?

We can’t see which energy supplier or internet provider a home uses: that isn’t public. On moving-in day, take photos of the meter readings. Find the gas supplier on Find My Supplier, and for electricity call 105 (free). You’re on that supplier’s standard tariff until you switch, and you can switch any time.

For the internet, check which broadband networks and speeds reach this address on Ofcom’s checker, then pick any provider that uses them.

Reviews you can trust

  • Every tenant proved they lived there, with a tenancy agreement or proof of address that only our moderators see.
  • No personal names: reviews are about the flat and the building, not people.
  • Landlords and agents can reply in public. Nobody can pay to hide or remove a review.
