In cash terms the typical NW3 7 home went from £260,000 in 1995 to £1,160,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 105%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 43% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NW3 7 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 2008 (+45.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2006 (−22.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What NW3 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.0% | −11.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −4.6% | −9.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.0% | −4.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
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.
How many homes change hands in NW3 7
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 26 NW3 7 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 151 sales a year before the financial crisis and 66 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around NW3 7
The local authority for NW3 7 is Camden, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £2,759 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £2,008 a month for a typical one-bed to £3,890 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Camden
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £1,160,000 median sold price, £2,759 a month is £33,108 a year, a gross yield of 2.9%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
What kind of market NW3 7 is
Only 26 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NW3 7 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. Against the NW3 district median, NW3 7 sits 33% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

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. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
