In cash terms the typical SW16 3 home went from £90,000 in 1995 to £739,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 278%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 14% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SW16 3 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 2021 (+47.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−25.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SW16 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +15.0% | +12.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +5.6% | +2.7% |
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.
Sales activity in SW16 3
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 18 sales completed in SW16 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 164 sales a year before the financial crisis and 75 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 kind of market SW16 3 is
Only 18 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SW16 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 SW16 district median, SW16 3 sits 49% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
Rents around SW16 3
The local authority for SW16 3 is Croydon, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,572 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,256 a month here against £2,654 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Croydon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £739,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,572 a month (£18,864 a year) works out at a 2.6% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SW prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SW area, 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.
| 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
