SW7 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SW7 (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.

| 1995 | £175,500 | £381,510 | 136 |
In cash terms the typical SW7 4 home went from £175,500 in 1995 to £795,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 108%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2018. The market now sits about 57% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SW7 4 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 (+38.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−31.5%). 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) | −31.5% | −33.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −7.4% | −11.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −4.2% | −7.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 22 sales completed in SW7 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 173 sales a year before the financial crisis and 60 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 SW7 4
The local authority for SW7 4 is Kensington and Chelsea, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £3,591 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Against the £795,000 median purchase price, a rent of £3,591 a month (£43,092 a year) works out at a 5.4% 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 SW7 4 market
This is a thin market: 22 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the SW7 district median, SW7 4 sits 32% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

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. 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.

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.
