Wandsworth Council has confirmed that council tax will remain frozen for the fourth consecutive year in 2026/27, offering welcome stability for residents across the borough, including those in Battersea and Nine Elms.
The continued freeze means there will be no increase in council tax bills this year, helping households manage ongoing cost of living pressures. Wandsworth remains one of the lowest council tax boroughs in London while continuing to fund key local services such as waste collection, parks, libraries and community facilities.
For homeowners, landlords and prospective buyers, this provides an added layer of financial certainty. Council tax rates are often an important consideration when choosing where to live, and Wandsworth’s continued freeze further strengthens the area’s appeal.
As Battersea and Nine Elms continue to grow, with new homes, improved infrastructure and expanding amenities, this announcement reinforces the borough’s reputation as a well-managed and attractive place to live and invest.
