Price per square metre in SE11

In cash terms the typical SE11 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £475,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 191%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2016, and today's median remains roughly 37% under it: a 2016 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SE11 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 1998 (+32.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−23.1%). 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) | −23.1% | −24.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.3% | −7.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.3% | −4.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 78% of the typed total. In 1998, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £227,000 against £106,000 for a flat, 2.1 times the price.

How many homes change hands in SE11
How many homes change hands
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 148 SE11 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 217 sales a year recently, against 263 a year before 2008. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
How SE11 trades
Only 148 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SE11 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
For renting purposes SE11 sits in Lambeth. The ONS average private rent there is £2,527 a month (May 2026). 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 £475,000 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.

What another bedroom costs in SE
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SE 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
