| 1995 | £105,000 | £228,254 | 285 |
In cash terms the typical SW19 8 home went from £105,000 in 1995 to £760,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 233%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 33% 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 SW19 8 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 2010 (+70.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−41.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −10.3% | −12.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.0% | −5.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.3% | −3.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
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.
Sales activity in SW19 8
The year-by-year sales count
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, 74 sales completed in SW19 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 354 sales a year before the financial crisis and 199 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.
Rents around SW19 8
SW19 8 falls under Merton, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,114 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,594 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,188, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Merton
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £760,500 median purchase price, a rent of £2,114 a month (£25,368 a year) works out at a 3.3% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
How SW19 8 trades
Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the SW19 district median, SW19 8 sits 37% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Moving up a bedroom in SW: the cost
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.

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
