In cash terms the typical NW6 2 home went from £82,200 in 1995 to £586,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 228%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 40% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NW6 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 2020 (+37.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−18.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What NW6 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.6% | −9.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.5% | −5.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.2% | −4.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
Sales activity in NW6 2
How many homes change hands
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 20 sales completed in NW6 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 146 sales a year before the financial crisis and 82 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 rental side of NW6 2
The local authority for NW6 2 is Camden, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Set against the £586,500 median sold price, £2,759 a month is £33,108 a year, a gross yield of 5.6%: 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 NW6 2 is
This is a thin market: 20 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. 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 NW6 district median, NW6 2 sits 9% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
