In cash terms the typical SW1V home went from £136,000 in 1995 to £644,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 118%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2018. The market now sits about 42% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SW1V 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 2000 (+23.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−14.4%). 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, 90% of the typed total.

What SW1V has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.7% | −4.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.1% | −7.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.5% | −4.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 158 SW1V sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 489 sales a year before the financial crisis and 179 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 SW1V
The local authority for SW1V is Westminster, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £3,163 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £2,517 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £5,378, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Westminster
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£3,163 a month is £37,956 a year, which against the £644,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.9%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
How SW1V trades
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.

What is for sale in SW1V right now

15% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
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.
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. 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%) |
| Terraced | £535,000 | £685,000 (+28%) | £850,000 (+24%) | £1,210,000 (+42%) | £1,680,000 (+39%) |
| Flat | £428,000 | £590,000 (+38%) | £900,000 (+53%) | £1,850,000 (+106%) | £3,700,000 (+100%) |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
