In cash terms the typical NW2 2 home went from £73,000 in 1995 to £520,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 228%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2015; the current median sits about 45% below that. Someone who bought at the 2015 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NW2 2 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 2015 (+46.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−20.8%). 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
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.8% | −10.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −5.9% | −10.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.2% | −3.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.6% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in NW2 2
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
NW2 2 recorded 11 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 119 sales a year before the financial crisis and 56 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.
The shape of the NW2 2 market
Only 11 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NW2 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
The rental side of NW2 2
For renting purposes NW2 2 sits in Barnet. The ONS average private rent there is £1,934 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,487 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,174, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Barnet
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,934 a month is £23,208 a year, which against the £520,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.5%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

How much did a house sell for in NW2 2 (Cricklewood)?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 26% over five years in cash but down 42% after inflation.

NW2's current homes for sale
Turning to what is actually available: 143 homes on the market right now, from 14 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole NW2 district, not just NW2 2: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 36% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
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.

The price of an extra bedroom in NW
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NW 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 | — | — | £992,500 | £1,400,000 (+41%) | £2,225,000 (+59%) |
| Semi-detached | — | £568,000 | £680,000 (+20%) | £969,000 (+43%) | £1,525,000 (+57%) |

| Flat | £424,334 | £586,000 (+38%) | £922,500 (+57%) | £1,675,000 (+82%) | £2,550,500 (+52%) |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
