In cash terms the typical CR4 3 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £435,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 285%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CR4 3 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 2001 (+26.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−18.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.7% | +1.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.4% | +1.5% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
CR4 3 recorded 39 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 337 sales a year before the financial crisis and 107 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the CR4 3 market
This is a thin market: 39 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
Rents around CR4 3
The local authority for CR4 3 is Merton, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £2,114 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,594 a month for a typical one-bed to £3,188 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Merton
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £435,000 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.

CR4's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 135 homes at the moment, listed by 13 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole CR4 district, not just CR4 3: live asking prices are collected per district.
20% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
"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.

What another bedroom costs in CR
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CR area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
