Upper Norwood market report SE19 1, London
The standing SE19 1 (Upper Norwood) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 5,065 sales registered with HM Land Registry in SE19 1 (London) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the typical home in SE19 1 (London) sold for £436,500 in 2026, the median of 40 registered sales, up 9% on five years earlier. The mean was £530,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £6,660 per square metre over the last five years. The figures cover 5,065 sales recorded by HM Land Registry since 1995 and refresh with each monthly release: completed sale prices, not valuations or asking prices.
SE19 1 is one sector of SE19 (London): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

SE19 1 sold prices: where the market stands
Take the 40 registered 2026 sales in SE19 1 and the middle price, the median, is £436,500. The mean lands at £530,000, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
SE19 1 prices by floor area
The last five years of sales put SE19 1 at roughly £6,660 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, SE19 1 runs 53% above it.

In cash terms the typical SE19 1 home went from £46,500 in 1995 to £436,500 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 332%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 29% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SE19 1 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 (+25.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2021 (−15.3%). 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) | −5.1% | −7.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.5% | −2.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in SE19 1
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.
SE19 1 recorded 40 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 223 sales a year before the financial crisis and 108 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 kind of market SE19 1 is
This is a thin market: 40 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.
Rents around SE19 1
The local authority for SE19 1 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 £436,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.9%. 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
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%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
