In cash terms the typical SM3 9 home went from £79,000 in 1995 to £554,800 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 223%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 11% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SM3 9 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 2017 (+27.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−7.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SM3 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.6% | −0.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.2% | +1.4% |
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 SM3 9
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.
The register shows 52 SM3 9 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 273 sales a year before the financial crisis and 125 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.
How SM3 9 trades
This is a thin market: 52 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 rental side of SM3 9
The local authority for SM3 9 is Sutton, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,550 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,233 a month here against £2,486 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Sutton
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £554,800 median sold price, £1,550 a month is £18,600 a year, a gross yield of 3.4%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

What another bedroom costs in SM
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SM 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.
| 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%) |

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

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
