In cash terms the typical CR4 2 home went from £62,000 in 1995 to £437,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 225%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 26% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CR4 2 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2014 (+31.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−6.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.4% | −6.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.6% | −5.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.7% | −2.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +1.1% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in CR4 2
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
CR4 2 recorded 38 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 258 sales a year before the financial crisis and 93 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around CR4 2
The local authority for CR4 2 is Merton, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £2,114 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,594 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,188, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Merton
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £437,500 median purchase price, a rent of £2,114 a month (£25,368 a year) works out at a 5.8% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
The shape of the CR4 2 market
Only 38 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CR4 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

Turning to what is actually available: 135 homes on the market right now, from 13 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole CR4 district, not just CR4 2: live asking prices are collected per district.
20% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: CR prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CR area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £499,999 | £675,000 (+35%) | £885,000 (+31%) | £1,150,000 (+30%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
