In cash terms the typical SW4 6 home went from £81,000 in 1995 to £518,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 194%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 34% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SW4 6 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 (+27.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−10.6%). 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) | −10.6% | −12.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.2% | −5.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.6% | −3.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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 SW4 6
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.
SW4 6 recorded 38 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 166 sales a year before the financial crisis and 93 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around SW4 6
SW4 6 falls under Lambeth, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,527 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,882 a month for a typical one-bed to £3,725 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Lambeth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £518,500 median purchase price, a rent of £2,527 a month (£30,324 a year) works out at a 5.8% 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.
Reading the SW4 6 market
Only 38 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SW4 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.

How much did a house sell for in SW4 6 (Clapham)?
Are property prices falling in SW4 6 (Clapham)?
Will SW4 6 prices rise from here?

Moving up a bedroom in SW: the cost
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%) |
