SW19 5 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SW19 (London). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical SW19 5 home went from £187,000 in 1995 to £854,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 110%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2015, and today's median remains roughly 58% under it: a 2015 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SW19 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 2015 (+68.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−44.2%). 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) | −37.6% | −39.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −11.6% | −15.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.6% | −2.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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 SW19 5
How many homes change hands
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, 18 sales completed in SW19 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 117 sales a year before the financial crisis and 56 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.
How SW19 5 trades
Only 18 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SW19 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 SW19, this sector trades 54% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What tenants pay around SW19 5
For renting purposes SW19 5 sits in Merton. The ONS average private rent there is £2,114 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,594 a month here against £3,188 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Merton
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £854,800 median sold price, £2,114 a month is £25,368 a year, a gross yield of 3.0%: 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.

On the market in SW19 today
This is what you could actually buy today: 372 homes currently on the market from 10 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SW19 district, not just SW19 5: live asking prices are collected per district.
32% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. 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.
The price of an extra bedroom in SW
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%) |

| Flat | £428,000 | £590,000 (+38%) | £900,000 (+53%) | £1,850,000 (+106%) | £3,700,000 (+100%) |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
