In cash terms the typical SW16 6 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £495,000 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 314%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2019; the current median sits about 24% below that. Someone who bought at the 2019 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SW16 6 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 (+29.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−6.9%). 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) | +8.8% | +6.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.6% | −5.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.2% | −2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
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.
The register shows 71 SW16 6 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 375 sales a year before the financial crisis and 176 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of SW16 6
SW16 6 falls under Wandsworth, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,599 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £495,000 median purchase price, a rent of £2,599 a month (£31,188 a year) works out at a 6.3% 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%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
