Putney market report SW15 3, London

The standing SW15 3 (Putney) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. The raw material for this page is 6,126 HM Land Registry entries for SW15 3 (London), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.

Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

In short: the typical home in SW15 3 (London) sold for £425,000 in 2026, the median of 41 registered sales, down 18% on five years earlier. The mean was £540,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £6,970 per square metre over the last five years. The figures cover 6,126 sales recorded by HM Land Registry since 1995 and refresh with each monthly release: completed sale prices, not valuations or asking prices.

SW15 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SW15 (London). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What buyers actually paid in SW15 3

The SW15 3 median stands at £425,000 for 2026, built from 41 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £540,100, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.

House prices per square metre in SW15 3

A square metre of SW15 3 home has cost about £6,970 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.

Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, SW15 3 sits 49% above the national market.

In cash terms the typical SW15 3 home went from £86,800 in 1995 to £425,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 125%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2016, and today's median remains roughly 49% under it: a 2016 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.

The strongest year on record here is 1998 (+24.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−21.2%). 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

Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.

The turnover behind the prices

The register shows 41 SW15 3 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 280 sales a year before the financial crisis and 112 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.

Rents around SW15 3

For renting purposes SW15 3 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.

Set against the £425,000 median sold price, £2,599 a month is £31,188 a year, a gross yield of 7.3%: 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.

How SW15 3 trades

This is a thin market: 41 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. Against the SW15 district median, SW15 3 sits 29% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Common questions on SW15 3 (Putney)

Are SW15 3 prices heading up or down?

The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is down 18% over five years in cash but down 35% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
