In cash terms the typical SW4 7 home went from £70,500 in 1995 to £515,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 236%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 33% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SW4 7 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 (+31.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−12.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SW4 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.5% | −8.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.3% | −5.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.4% | −3.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Sales activity in SW4 7
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 45 sales completed in SW4 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 212 sales a year before the financial crisis and 92 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.
How SW4 7 trades
This is a thin market: 45 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 tenants pay around SW4 7
For renting purposes SW4 7 sits in Lambeth. The ONS average private rent there is £2,527 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £515,000 median sold price, £2,527 a month is £30,324 a year, a gross yield of 5.9%: 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.

Searches that land here, answered
A lot of searches that reach this page are full postcodes, SW4 7TG among them. A full postcode is a street segment of a dozen or so homes, below even sector level; the medians on this page are the context, and the live map shows every recorded sale at those exact addresses.
Search phrases quoted verbatim from Google Search Console for this site (last 16 months); each is answered from the page's own Land Registry figures.
Where do SW4 7 prices go next?
Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is down 6% over five years in cash but down 26% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
What is for sale in SW4 right now
Turning to what is actually available: 112 homes on the market right now, from 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SW4 district, not just SW4 7: live asking prices are collected per district.
28% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
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.
The price of an extra bedroom in SW
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SW area. 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.
