In cash terms the typical NW6 5 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £485,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 285%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 43% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NW6 5 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 1996 (+175.9% on the year before); the weakest, 1997 (−46.9%). 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 year (since 2025) | +1.0% | −1.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −6.4% | −10.7% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | −4.2% | −8.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.4% | −4.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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 NW6 5 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 125 sales a year before the financial crisis and 73 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 NW6 5
For renting purposes NW6 5 sits in Brent. The ONS average private rent there is £2,005 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,571 a month here against £3,048 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £485,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.0%. 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 NW6 5 market
Only 26 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NW6 5 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 NW6, this sector trades 26% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Moving up a bedroom in NW: the cost
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.
