In cash terms the typical CR4 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £425,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 243%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 19% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CR4 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 (+23.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CR4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.3% | −6.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.2% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 49% of the typed total. In 2023, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £472,500 against £280,000 for a flat, 1.7 times the price.

Sales activity in CR4
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
CR4 recorded 282 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,100 sales a year before the financial crisis and 366 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.
What homes rent for around CR4
For renting purposes CR4 sits in Merton. The ONS average private rent there is £2,114 a month (May 2026). 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.
£2,114 a month is £25,368 a year, which against the £425,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.0%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

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.
Moving up a bedroom in CR: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the CR area, straight 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £499,999 | £675,000 (+35%) | £885,000 (+31%) | £1,150,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £365,000 | £435,000 (+19%) | £533,000 (+23%) | £650,000 (+22%) | £775,000 (+19%) |

| Flat | £242,000 | £310,000 (+28%) | £405,000 (+31%) | £454,000 (+12%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
