In cash terms the typical TW1 home went from £97,000 in 1995 to £700,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 232%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 26% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the TW1 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 (+33.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2022 (−14.1%). 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, 52% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £1,965,000 against £511,200 for a flat, 3.8 times the price.

Annualised returns

| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +0.9% |
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 TW1
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 317 TW1 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 772 sales a year before the financial crisis and 352 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.
The rental side of TW1
For renting purposes TW1 sits in Richmond upon Thames. The ONS average private rent there is £2,305 a month (May 2026). 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 £700,000 median sold price, £2,305 a month is £27,660 a year, a gross yield of 4.0%: 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.
Reading the TW1 market
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. Among the 19 measurable districts of its area, TW1 ranks 3 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is down 5% over five years in cash but down 25% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in TW: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the TW area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £511,000 | £680,000 (+33%) | £980,000 (+44%) | £1,825,000 (+86%) |
| Semi-detached | £395,000 | £468,000 (+18%) | £561,000 (+20%) | £788,750 (+41%) | £1,595,000 (+102%) |
| Terraced | £385,000 | £470,000 (+22%) | £617,500 (+31%) | £917,950 (+49%) | £1,450,000 (+58%) |

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.
