Cricklewood market report NW2 6, London
The NW2 6 (Cricklewood) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 3,977 sales registered with HM Land Registry in NW2 6 (London) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the 2026 median for NW2 6 (London) is £550,000, from 21 registered sales, up 1% on five years earlier; the mean is £644,300, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £6,520 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 3,977 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
A postcode sector like NW2 6 is a single group of streets within NW2 (London), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

What a home in NW2 6 sells for
Take the 21 registered 2026 sales in NW2 6 and the middle price, the median, is £550,000. The mean lands at £644,300, 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 6
The last five years of sales put NW2 6 at roughly £6,520 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.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, NW2 6 runs 93% above it.

| 1996 | £70,000 | £147,627 | 161 |
| 1995 | £72,600 | £157,821 | 201 |
In cash terms the typical NW2 6 home went from £72,600 in 1995 to £550,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 248%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 27% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NW2 6 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 (+35.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−20.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.9% | −1.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
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.
Sales activity in NW2 6
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.
The register shows 21 NW2 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 183 sales a year before the financial crisis and 58 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.
What tenants pay around NW2 6
NW2 6 falls under Brent, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,005 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,571 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,048, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Brent
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£2,005 a month is £24,060 a year, which against the £550,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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.
Reading the NW2 6 market
This is a thin market: 21 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. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: NW prices by size
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%) |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
