In cash terms the typical TW1 2 home went from £108,500 in 1995 to £675,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 186%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2019; the current median sits about 36% below that. Someone who bought at the 2019 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the TW1 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 1998 (+78.5% on the year before); the weakest, 1997 (−20.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −16.1% | −18.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.3% | −3.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
The register shows 29 TW1 2 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 177 sales a year before the financial crisis and 90 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.
Rents around TW1 2
The local authority for TW1 2 is Richmond upon Thames, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £2,305 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,710 a month here against £3,866 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Richmond upon Thames
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £675,000 median purchase price, a rent of £2,305 a month (£27,660 a year) works out at a 4.1% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
How TW1 2 trades
This is a thin market: 29 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in TW
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the TW area. 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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
