In cash terms the typical SW9 7 home went from £50,500 in 1995 to £455,000 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 314%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2016, and today's median remains roughly 37% under it: a 2016 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SW9 7 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 2014 (+39.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−24.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SW9 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.6% | −6.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.3% | −4.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.9% | +2.0% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
SW9 7 recorded 16 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 41 sales a year recently, against 48 a year before 2008. 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.
The shape of the SW9 7 market
This is a thin market: 16 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.
Rents around SW9 7
SW9 7 falls under Lambeth, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,527 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,882 a month for a typical one-bed to £3,725 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Lambeth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £455,000 median purchase price, a rent of £2,527 a month (£30,324 a year) works out at a 6.7% 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 you could buy in SW9 now
This is what you could actually buy today: 40 homes currently on the market from 12 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SW9 district, not just SW9 7: live asking prices are collected per district.
43% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

What another bedroom costs in SW
Real sold prices by size across the SW area, straight 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%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
The risers and the fallers
The spread across the SW area is the point: the same five years treated these districts very differently.
