SW5 9 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 9 home went from £121,500 in 1995 to £795,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 201%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2015, and today's median remains roughly 30% under it: a 2015 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SW5 9 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 2012 (+26.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−18.7%). 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) | +8.7% | +6.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.7% | −5.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | 0.0% | −3.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +1.0% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 29 SW5 9 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 244 sales a year before the financial crisis and 75 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.
Reading the SW5 9 market
Only 29 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SW5 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within SW5, this sector trades 8% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
The rental side of SW5 9
For renting purposes SW5 9 sits in Kensington and Chelsea. The ONS average private rent there is £3,591 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £2,567 a month for a typical one-bed to £5,497 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Kensington and Chelsea
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £795,000 median sold price, £3,591 a month is £43,092 a year, a gross yield of 5.4%: 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.

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. 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.
