What a home in SW11 sells for

What a square metre costs in SW11
Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in SW11 costs about £10,270 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.

| 1995 | £105,000 | £228,254 | 1,504 |
In cash terms the typical SW11 home went from £105,000 in 1995 to £707,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 210%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2016. The market now sits about 35% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SW11 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 (+23.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−10.6%). 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, 71% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £3,000,000 against £699,200 for a flat, 4.3 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −10.6% | −12.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.7% | −6.3% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | −1.0% | −5.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.0% | −4.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in SW11
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.
SW11 recorded 829 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,884 sales a year before the financial crisis and 1,269 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 SW11
The local authority for SW11 is Wandsworth, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £2,599 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £707,500 median sold price, £2,599 a month is £31,188 a year, a gross yield of 4.4%: 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 kind of market SW11 is
The stock is flat-led: flats and maisonettes were 72% of last year's sales, so the headline median tracks the flat market more than the house market.

What happens to SW11 prices now?

On the market in SW11 today
Everything above is what homes in SW11 sold for. The live side of the market holds 33 homes at the moment, listed by 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 1% below the SW11 median sold price.
SW11 registered 829 sales in the last twelve months; the 33 homes listed now would take about 2 weeks to clear at that rate. The count covers agents publishing to HomesIndex, so the real stock is larger. Supply that short favours the seller; a sensibly priced home here does not sit for long.
9% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
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.

Refreshed every Monday and Thursday from agents' own feeds to HomesIndex, so a sample of the market rather than all of it. An asking price remains an ask, not a sale.
SW11: the homes on offer and the homes that go
Sellers of flats in SW11 have company: 100% of current listings against 76% of recent sales. When a type is offered faster than it sells, the buyer usually holds the better hand.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 0% | 0% |
| Semi-detached | 0% | 2% |
| Terraced | 0% | 21% |
| Flats | 100% | 76% |
The listing shares count homes published to HomesIndex by agents today; the sales shares count HM Land Registry registrations. Listings typed only as "house", "bungalow" or similar, which the register would file under one of the four forms, are excluded from the listing side (5 of them here).
The SW11 sales calendar
Take the 7,575 SW11 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: June completions lead with 11.0% of the total, April trails with 6.7%. That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.

Bedroom by bedroom: SW prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the SW area, straight 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 | — | — | £852,750 | £1,211,000 (+42%) | £1,650,000 (+36%) |
| Semi-detached | — | £616,000 | £735,000 (+19%) | £962,500 (+31%) | £1,280,000 (+33%) |
| Terraced | £540,000 | £691,876 (+28%) | £867,500 (+25%) | £1,210,000 (+39%) | £1,605,071 (+33%) |
| Flat | £415,000 | £545,000 (+31%) | £800,000 (+47%) | £1,550,000 (+94%) | £3,200,000 (+106%) |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
