In cash terms the typical SW9 0 home went from £68,500 in 1995 to £533,800 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 258%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2015, and today's median remains roughly 22% under it: a 2015 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SW9 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 1999 (+33.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−9.1%). 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) | +4.7% | +2.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.0% | −2.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +1.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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, 38 sales completed in SW9 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 164 sales a year before the financial crisis and 111 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.
Rents around SW9 0
For renting purposes SW9 0 sits in Lambeth. The ONS average private rent there is £2,527 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,882 a month here against £3,725 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Lambeth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £533,800 median purchase price, a rent of £2,527 a month (£30,324 a year) works out at a 5.7% 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.
What kind of market SW9 0 is
Only 38 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SW9 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within SW9, this sector trades 13% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 3% over five years in cash but down 19% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
What you could buy in SW9 now
Turning to what is actually available: 40 homes on the market right now, from 12 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SW9 district, not just SW9 0: live asking prices are collected per district.
43% 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.

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.
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. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
