In cash terms the typical SW19 home went from £86,500 in 1995 to £555,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 195%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 34% 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 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 (+27.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−11.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 53% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £2,773,000 against £430,000 for a flat, 6.4 times the price.

How many homes change hands in SW19
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.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
SW19 recorded 794 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 2,013 sales a year before the financial crisis and 963 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.
What tenants pay around SW19
The local authority for SW19 is Merton, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £2,114 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £555,000 median sold price, £2,114 a month is £25,368 a year, a gross yield of 4.6%: 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.

Real sold prices by size across the SW area, straight 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.
