In cash terms the typical SW18 3 home went from £87,200 in 1995 to £707,500 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 273%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 24% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SW18 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 1999 (+30.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2021 (−5.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SW18 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.6% | −5.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.8% | −2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.3% |
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.
How many homes change hands in SW18 3
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 90 sales completed in SW18 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 402 sales a year before the financial crisis and 221 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 SW18 3
SW18 3 falls under Wandsworth, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,599 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,911 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,782, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £707,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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 SW18 right now
The live side of the market holds 269 homes at the moment, listed by 16 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SW18 district, not just SW18 3: live asking prices are collected per district.
26% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SW prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SW area, 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
The risers and the fallers

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
