TW1 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside TW1 (Twickenham). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical TW1 3 home went from £97,000 in 1995 to £610,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 189%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 41% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the TW1 3 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 2017 (+58.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−26.5%). 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 years (since 2025) | −0.8% | −3.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.2% | +1.3% |
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 TW1 3
How many homes change hands
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.
TW1 3 recorded 20 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 133 sales a year before the financial crisis and 65 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.
The shape of the TW1 3 market
This is a thin market: 20 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. 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 TW1 district median, TW1 3 sits 13% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around TW1 3
The local authority for TW1 3 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.
Set against the £610,000 median sold price, £2,305 a month is £27,660 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: 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.

Are property prices falling in TW1 3 (St. Margarets)?
Are TW1 3 prices heading up or down?

The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the TW 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.
