In cash terms the typical SW17 home went from £67,000 in 1995 to £585,000 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 302%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2016; the current median sits about 24% below that. Someone who bought at the 2016 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SW17 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 (+29.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−7.3%). 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) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.2% | −4.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.6% | −2.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.5% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 56% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £1,204,000 against £472,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

How many homes change hands in SW17
Sales per year, counted
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 665 SW17 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 1,537 sales a year before the financial crisis and 849 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.
The rental side of SW17
The local authority for SW17 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.
£2,599 a month is £31,188 a year, which against the £585,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.3%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

What is for sale in SW17 right now
Everything above is what homes in SW17 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 138 homes on the market right now, from 13 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 19% below the SW17 median sold price.
34% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in SW
Real sold prices by size across the SW area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £535,000 | £685,000 (+28%) | £850,000 (+24%) | £1,210,000 (+42%) | £1,680,000 (+39%) |
| Flat | £428,000 | £590,000 (+38%) | £900,000 (+53%) | £1,850,000 (+106%) | £3,700,000 (+100%) |
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.
