In cash terms the typical SW7 5 home went from £201,000 in 1995 to £970,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 122%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2014. The market now sits about 61% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SW7 5 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 1996 (+46.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−34.3%). 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) | −34.3% | −35.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −4.9% | −9.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −3.5% | −6.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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.
Sales activity in SW7 5
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, 13 sales completed in SW7 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 180 sales a year before the financial crisis and 53 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 tenants pay around SW7 5
SW7 5 falls under Kensington and Chelsea, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Set against the £970,000 median sold price, £3,591 a month is £43,092 a year, a gross yield of 4.4%: 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.
Reading the SW7 5 market
This is a thin market: 13 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 SW7 district median, SW7 5 sits 17% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

SW7's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 90 homes at the moment, listed by 12 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SW7 district, not just SW7 5: live asking prices are collected per district.
10% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

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.
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.

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
