| 1995 | £123,200 | £267,818 | 92 |
In cash terms the typical NW8 7 home went from £123,200 in 1995 to £610,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 128%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 73% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NW8 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 2019 (+80.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−51.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −34.9% | −36.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −11.3% | −15.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −6.2% | −9.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.4% |
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 NW8 7
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 20 sales completed in NW8 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 156 sales a year before the financial crisis and 72 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.
What tenants pay around NW8 7
For renting purposes NW8 7 sits in Westminster. The ONS average private rent there is £3,163 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £2,517 a month for a typical one-bed to £5,378 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Westminster
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £610,000 median sold price, £3,163 a month is £37,956 a year, a gross yield of 6.2%: 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.
How NW8 7 trades
Only 20 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NW8 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 NW8 district median, NW8 7 sits 16% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

The price of an extra bedroom in NW
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NW area, 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
