SW2 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SW2 (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 SW2 3 home went from £59,200 in 1995 to £534,500 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 315%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2016, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2016 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SW2 3 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 (+38.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−7.8%). 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) | +2.8% | +0.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.0% | −2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.5% | +1.7% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
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, 54 sales completed in SW2 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 226 sales a year before the financial crisis and 134 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 SW2 3
The local authority for SW2 3 is Lambeth, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £2,527 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,882 a month here against £3,725 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Lambeth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £534,500 median purchase price, a rent of £2,527 a month (£30,324 a year) works out at a 5.7% 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.
The shape of the SW2 3 market
This is a thin market: 54 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.

What happens to SW2 3 prices now?
The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 11% over five years in cash but down 12% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
What you could buy in SW2 now
The live side of the market holds 208 homes at the moment, listed by 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SW2 district, not just SW2 3: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 48% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
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.

What another bedroom costs in SW
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SW area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
The risers and the fallers
The spread across the SW area is the point: the same five years treated these districts very differently.
