Earl's Court market report SW5 0, London
The standing SW5 0 (Earl's Court) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 4,902 registered sales in SW5 0 (London) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 19 registered 2026 sales put the SW5 0 (London) median at £1,430,000, up 17% on five years earlier, with a mean of £1,504,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £14,340 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,902 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
SW5 0 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SW5 (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 SW5 0 home went from £170,000 in 1995 to £1,430,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 287%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2015, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2015 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SW5 0 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 2026 (+40.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−20.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +40.9% | +37.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.1% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.4% | +1.6% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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, 19 sales completed in SW5 0. 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 70 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 homes rent for around SW5 0
For renting purposes SW5 0 sits in Kensington and Chelsea. The ONS average private rent there is £3,591 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £2,567 a month here against £5,497 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Kensington and Chelsea
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £1,430,000 median purchase price, a rent of £3,591 a month (£43,092 a year) works out at a 3.0% 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.
How SW5 0 trades
This is a thin market: 19 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. 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. Against the SW5 district median, SW5 0 sits 66% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: SW prices by size
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.
| 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%) |

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.
