| 1996 | £67,000 | £141,300 | 826 |
| 1995 | £63,200 | £137,387 | 668 |
In cash terms the typical SM1 home went from £63,200 in 1995 to £422,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 208%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SM1 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 2000 (+24.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 44% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £587,500 against £295,000 for a flat, 2.0 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.1% | −8.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
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
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 364 SM1 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 1,013 sales a year before the financial crisis and 462 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 SM1
SM1 falls under Sutton, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,550 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,233 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,486, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Sutton
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £422,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,550 a month (£18,600 a year) works out at a 4.4% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 5% over five years in cash but down 17% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.

The price of an extra bedroom in SM
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SM area. 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 | — | £574,000 | £775,000 (+35%) | £1,030,000 (+33%) | £1,382,500 (+34%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
