In cash terms the typical SW18 4 home went from £67,500 in 1995 to £525,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 258%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2016; the current median sits about 30% 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 SW18 4 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 (+38.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−14.0%). 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) | +2.7% | +0.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.2% | −3.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
Sales activity in SW18 4
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
SW18 4 recorded 65 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 293 sales a year before the financial crisis and 209 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.

What another bedroom costs in SW
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SW area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | — | £1,050,000 | £1,797,500 (+71%) | £2,600,000 (+45%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
