In cash terms the typical SW9 9 home went from £64,500 in 1995 to £500,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 257%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 34% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SW9 9 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 (+43.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2022 (−12.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −10.7% | −12.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.6% | −8.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.7% | −4.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
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, 37 sales completed in SW9 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 233 sales a year before the financial crisis and 123 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.
Reading the SW9 9 market
Only 37 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SW9 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
Rents around SW9 9
SW9 9 falls under Lambeth, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,527 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £500,000 median sold price, £2,527 a month is £30,324 a year, a gross yield of 6.1%: 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.

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.
