Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on SW12: steady sales, so price from the evidence
SW12 sees about 29 sales a month, and with no dependable year-on-year figure to hand, recent sold homes are a safer guide than any headline.
If you are thinking of selling, a spread from £374,700 to £1,466,100 makes £645,000 a poor guide to any one home, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; most homes here sell leasehold, so have the lease length, ground rent and service charge paperwork ready before you list.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, on price, SW12 is well above the UK average, so a premium over the average needs a reason you can see in the sold homes of the same type.
On any SW12 home we would check the lease (length, ground rent and service charge), what has been applied for nearby (5,308 applications on record within 500 m) and whether the home is at risk of flooding, and ask a conveyancer to read the title.
For what the averages cannot tell you, the free SW12 OfferCheck brings flood, crime, planning and council tax together.

In plain English
What the Lambeth (SW12) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: semi-detached homes sold for a typical £1,500,000 against £575,000 for flats: about 2.6 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £374,700 and £1,466,100, so the median says little about any one home.
- 70% of these sales were leasehold, which marks a flat-heavy market. Buyers here weigh remaining lease length, ground rent and service charges as much as the price.
- This is an active district: about 29 recorded sales a month.

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so SW12 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in SW12: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row.

What it costs to run a home in SW12, band by band
Lambeth's council tax for 2026-27 set against the SW12 median sold price of £645,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the SW12 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
