In cash terms the typical SW18 5 home went from £104,000 in 1995 to £700,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 210%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 40% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SW18 5 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 (+36.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−20.5%). 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) | −20.5% | −22.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.6% | −7.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.2% | −3.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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 SW18 5
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 67 sales completed in SW18 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 382 sales a year before the financial crisis and 185 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 tenants pay around SW18 5
SW18 5 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.
Set against the £700,000 median sold price, £2,599 a month is £31,188 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
What kind of market SW18 5 is
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within SW18, this sector trades 14% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

What another bedroom costs in SW
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.
