Today's NW2 3 prices, from the sold record
The 2026 median for NW2 3 is £485,000, taken from 24 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £612,300, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
What a square metre costs in NW2 3
The last five years of sales put NW2 3 at roughly £8,570 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

In cash terms the typical NW2 3 home went from £80,800 in 1995 to £485,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 176%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2018, and today's median remains roughly 33% under it: a 2018 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NW2 3 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 (+27.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−19.3%). 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) | −16.4% | −18.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.5% | −5.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.1% | −3.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 24 sales completed in NW2 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 168 sales a year before the financial crisis and 59 a year over the last five. 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.
Rents around NW2 3
NW2 3 falls under Camden, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,759 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £2,008 a month here against £3,890 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Camden
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£2,759 a month is £33,108 a year, which against the £485,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.8%. 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.
The shape of the NW2 3 market
Only 24 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NW2 3 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. Within NW2, this sector trades 12% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Where do NW2 3 prices go next?

What you could buy in NW2 now
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 3: live asking prices are collected per district.
36% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. 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.

What another bedroom costs in NW
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NW area. 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%) |
| Terraced | £490,000 | £545,000 (+11%) | £720,000 (+32%) | £1,150,000 (+60%) | £1,850,000 (+61%) |
| Flat | £424,334 | £586,000 (+38%) | £922,500 (+57%) | £1,675,000 (+82%) | £2,550,500 (+52%) |
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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
