In cash terms the typical SW11 1 home went from £99,500 in 1995 to £692,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 220%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 31% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SW11 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 (+28.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−16.0%). 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) | −0.4% | −2.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.3% | −3.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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 SW11 1
Sales per year, counted
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.
SW11 1 recorded 48 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 306 sales a year before the financial crisis and 140 a year over the last five. 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.
What homes rent for around SW11 1
For renting purposes SW11 1 sits in Wandsworth. The ONS average private rent there is £2,599 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,911 a month here against £3,782 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Wandsworth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £692,500 median sold price, £2,599 a month is £31,188 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: 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.
The shape of the SW11 1 market
Only 48 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SW11 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

Is SW11 1 (Battersea) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in SW11 1 (Battersea)?
Are property prices falling in SW11 1 (Battersea)?

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

These cover the whole SW11 district, not just SW11 1: live asking prices are collected per district.
28% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SW prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SW 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 | — | — | £1,050,000 | £1,797,500 (+71%) | £2,600,000 (+45%) |
| Semi-detached | £478,500 | £645,000 (+35%) | £850,000 (+32%) | £1,200,000 (+41%) | £1,800,000 (+50%) |

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

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