On The Table Read Magazine, “the best arts and entertainment magazine UK“, From Del Boy’s Peckham flat now worth £419k (up 1,995%) to Will’s Inbetweeners house in Ruislip hitting £653k, Britain’s favourite fictional homes have become property goldmines – find out which show’s address made the biggest fortune in today’s market!
From Del Boy’s high-rise to Will McKenzie’s suburban semi, the homes we grew up watching on British TV have become almost as famous as the characters who lived in them. But while the jokes, drama, and awkward teenage moments haven’t aged, the property market certainly has.
With Google searches for The Inbetweeners exploding in the last 24 hours amid reunion rumours, the top trending question about the show this year has been “where is The Inbetweeners set?”. Fans clearly want to know more about the world of Jay, Neil, Simon, and Will, and now unoccupied home insurance experts at Alan Boswell Group have crunched the numbers on how much these iconic TV homes would cost if they came up for sale in 2025.
Spoiler: some of these fictional owners would be laughing all the way to the bank.

The Millionaire Makers
Only Fools and Horses – 1,995%
Back in 1981, the Trotters’ council flat (filmed at Harlech Tower in Acton and later Whitemead House in Bristol) would have set you back just £20,000. Today a comparable property could fetch £419,000. Peckham’s transformation from overlooked inner-city borough to trendy, artsy hotspot has turned Del Boy’s “this time next year we’ll be millionaires” prophecy into reality, at least on paper.
Wallace and Gromit – 983%
Wallace’s quirky terraced house in Wigan cost a modest £18,000 in 1989. Fast-forward to 2025 and it’s worth around £195,000. The North West may not grab headlines like London, but steady demand and relative affordability have delivered nearly tenfold growth.
Peep Show – 551%
Mark and Jeremy’s grim two-bed flat in Croydon was valued at £70,000 when the show launched in 2003. Regeneration, the tram network, and fast trains into London have helped push similar flats to around £456,000 today.
The Suburban Success Stories
The Inbetweeners – 172%
Will McKenzie’s family home in Ruislip, the perfect backdrop for teenage cringe, would have cost £240,000 in 2008. In the current market, that same semi-detached house could command £653,000. Leafy streets, outstanding schools, and the Metropolitan line have kept Ruislip a firm favourite with London families wanting space without the central-London price tag.
Harry Potter – 188%
Number 4 Privet Drive (actually filmed in Bracknell) was worth £130,000 when Harry first flew into our lives in 2001. Today it’s estimated at £375,000. Commuter-belt reliability and good schools have kept values ticking upwards.
Skins – 162%
The glamorous Clifton townhouses of the Skins teens were already pricey at £350,000 in 2007. Georgian elegance and Bristol’s booming reputation have lifted them to around £918,000 today.
The More Modest Movers
At the other end of the scale, Stacey’s house in Barry (Gavin & Stacey) has seen just a 15% rise since 2007, from £130,000 to £150,000, reflecting Wales’ slower property growth. Similarly, Kerry Mucklowe’s Cotswolds semi in This Country is up 36% to £366,000, while Catherine Cawood’s Hebden Bridge terrace in Happy Valley has climbed 50% to £240,000.
Lovely Jubbly or Cushty?
Forty-four years of British property inflation have turned many of these once-ordinary homes into serious assets. While the Peckham skyline has changed beyond recognition and Croydon is no longer a punchline, some corners of the country have seen far gentler growth.
One thing’s for sure: if Del Boy had hung onto that flat instead of chasing dodgy deals in Margate, he really would be a millionaire by now.
