In cash terms the typical CR4 4 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £293,800 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 170%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 41% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CR4 4 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 2018 (+33.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−27.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −24.2% | −26.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −4.4% | −8.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.2% | −3.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in CR4 4
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 20 sales completed in CR4 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 197 sales a year before the financial crisis and 69 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What kind of market CR4 4 is
This is a thin market: 20 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. Against the CR4 district median, CR4 4 sits 31% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around CR4 4
For renting purposes CR4 4 sits in Merton. The ONS average private rent there is £2,114 a month (May 2026). 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 £293,800 median purchase price, a rent of £2,114 a month (£25,368 a year) works out at a 8.6% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in CR: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the CR area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
