In cash terms the typical SW11 8 home went from £334,600 in 2002 to £696,200 in 2026, roughly 2.1 times the price. In today's money, though, the move is modest, around 11%. The cash growth mostly records inflation, with homes themselves changing little in real value. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 76% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SW11 8 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 2018 (+45.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2007 (−74.2%). 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) | −18.1% | −20.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −4.5% | −8.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −3.1% | −6.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | −4.2% | −6.8% |
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
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 32 sales completed in SW11 8. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 192 sales a year over the last five years against 1 before the financial crisis. 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.
The shape of the SW11 8 market
This is a thin market: 32 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 record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
What tenants pay around SW11 8
For renting purposes SW11 8 sits in Wandsworth. The ONS average private rent there is £2,599 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,911 a month for a typical one-bed to £3,782 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Wandsworth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £696,200 median purchase price, a rent of £2,599 a month (£31,188 a year) works out at a 4.5% 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 another bedroom costs in SW
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SW 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.
