| 1996 | £65,800 | £138,769 | 44 |
| 1995 | £59,900 | £130,213 | 35 |
In cash terms the typical SE11 5 home went from £59,900 in 1995 to £495,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 280%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2016, and today's median remains roughly 40% under it: a 2016 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SE11 5 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 (+63.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−28.5%). 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) | −27.3% | −29.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.7% | −4.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +1.1% |
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 SE11 5
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
SE11 5 recorded 15 sales in the last twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 98 sales a year over the last five years against 79 before the financial crisis. 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.
How SE11 5 trades
Only 15 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SE11 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
What homes rent for around SE11 5
The local authority for SE11 5 is Lambeth, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £2,527 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,882 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,725, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £495,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.1%. 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.

On the market in SE11 today
This is what you could actually buy today: 16 homes currently on the market from 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SE11 district, not just SE11 5: live asking prices are collected per district.
44% 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.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

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: SE prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SE 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 | — | £516,250 | £795,000 (+54%) | £1,325,000 (+67%) | £2,025,000 (+53%) |

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