What a square metre costs in NW6

In cash terms the typical NW6 home went from £90,000 in 1995 to £645,600 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 230%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 31% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NW6 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 (+22.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 82% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £2,657,000 against £600,000 for a flat, 4.4 times the price.

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 NW6
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 last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
NW6 recorded 498 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,320 sales a year before the financial crisis and 618 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 NW6
NW6 falls under Camden, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
£2,759 a month is £33,108 a year, which against the £645,600 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.1%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in NW: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the NW area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
