In short: the middle 2026 sale in SW9 6 (London) came in at £431,200, out of 22 registered, down 15% on five years earlier, and the mean stands at £470,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £7,490 per square metre over the last five years.

A postcode sector like SW9 6 is a single group of streets within SW9 (London), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

The going rate for a home in SW9 6

Across 22 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) SW9 6 home went for £431,200. The mean is £470,100, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.

What a square metre costs in SW9 6

Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in SW9 6 costs about £7,490 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so SW9 6 trades 51% above the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical SW9 6 home went from £61,400 in 1995 to £431,200 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 223%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2016. The market now sits about 34% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 1999 (+51.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.5%). 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

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

Over the last twelve months of data, 22 sales completed in SW9 6. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 58 sales a year recently, against 59 a year before 2008. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.

What kind of market SW9 6 is

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. Within SW9, this sector trades 9% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

What tenants pay around SW9 6

SW9 6 falls under Lambeth, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,527 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,882 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,725, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

Set against the £431,200 median sold price, £2,527 a month is £30,324 a year, a gross yield of 7.0%: 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.

Asked and answered: SW9 6 (Brixton)

Are SW9 6 prices heading up or down?

The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is down 15% over five years in cash but down 33% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.

Two maps carry on from here: every SW9 6 sale at its exact address, and the average prices map from area shading down to single homes. The report tool answers a specific question in writing, and each sale's mortgage and rent calculator prices a real purchase.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
