In cash terms the typical NW3 6 home went from £145,000 in 1995 to £816,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 159%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2024, and today's median remains roughly 42% under it: a 2024 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NW3 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 1998 (+42.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−38.0%). 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) | −29.8% | −31.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.1% | −6.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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 NW3 6
The year-by-year sales count
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 26 NW3 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 127 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.
Rents around NW3 6
The local authority for NW3 6 is Camden, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £2,759 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £2,008 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,890, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Camden
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £816,000 median purchase price, a rent of £2,759 a month (£33,108 a year) works out at a 4.1% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
How NW3 6 trades
Only 26 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NW3 6 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.

Is NW3 6 (Hampstead) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in NW3 6 (Hampstead)?
Are property prices falling in NW3 6 (Hampstead)?

What you could buy in NW3 now

Of everything listed here, 24% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: NW prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NW area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |

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.
