In cash terms the typical NW8 6 home went from £261,200 in 1995 to £1,700,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 199%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2019, and today's median remains roughly 29% under it: a 2019 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NW8 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 (+59.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−23.9%). 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) | +8.5% | +5.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.2% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.7% | −1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | 0.0% | −3.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +5.7% | +2.8% |
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 NW8 6
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
NW8 6 recorded 13 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 90 sales a year before the financial crisis and 41 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 kind of market NW8 6 is
This is a thin market: 13 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. 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. Within NW8, this sector trades 133% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
The rental side of NW8 6
NW8 6 falls under Westminster, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £3,163 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £2,517 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £5,378, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Westminster
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£3,163 a month is £37,956 a year, which against the £1,700,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.2%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: NW prices by size
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | — | £802,500 | £1,040,000 (+30%) | £1,325,000 (+27%) |
| Semi-detached | — | £550,000 | £657,750 (+20%) | £920,000 (+40%) | £1,250,000 (+36%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
