| 1995 | £102,000 | £221,732 | 215 |
In cash terms the typical SW11 4 home went from £102,000 in 1995 to £657,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 197%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2019, and today's median remains roughly 47% under it: a 2019 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SW11 4 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 (+30.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−28.7%). 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) | −18.4% | −20.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.8% | −8.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −2.8% | −6.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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 4 recorded 44 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 258 sales a year before the financial crisis and 197 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.
The rental side of SW11 4
For renting purposes SW11 4 sits in Wandsworth. The ONS average private rent there is £2,599 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,911 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,782, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Wandsworth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £657,500 median purchase price, a rent of £2,599 a month (£31,188 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.
What kind of market SW11 4 is
This is a thin market: 44 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in SW
Real sold prices by size across the SW area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
