What SE11 4 homes really sell for
The 2026 median for SE11 4 is £477,500, taken from 28 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £557,300, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
SE11 4 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of SE11 4 sales average about £8,510 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

In cash terms the typical SE11 4 home went from £88,500 in 1995 to £477,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 148%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 47% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SE11 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 2001 (+27.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−24.0%). 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) | −22.7% | −24.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −4.7% | −9.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.6% | −4.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 28 SE11 4 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 149 sales a year before the financial crisis and 81 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.
Reading the SE11 4 market
This is a thin market: 28 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
What homes rent for around SE11 4
The local authority for SE11 4 is Lambeth, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £2,527 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,882 a month here against £3,725 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Lambeth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£2,527 a month is £30,324 a year, which against the £477,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.4%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in SE: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SE area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £516,250 | £795,000 (+54%) | £1,325,000 (+67%) | £2,025,000 (+53%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left 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.
