What TW5 homes really sell for
In the TW5 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £510,000, from 45 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £471,000, sitting beneath it, usually the sign of a batch of very cheap recorded transfers pulling the average lower.
What a square metre costs in TW5
Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in TW5 costs about £5,460 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.

| 1995 | £73,000 | £158,691 | 271 |
In cash terms the typical TW5 home went from £73,000 in 1995 to £510,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 221%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TW5 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 1999 (+22.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−4.8%). 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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 48% of the typed total. In 2024, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £768,000 against £290,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.6% | −4.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −3.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in TW5
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 last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
TW5 recorded 94 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 354 sales a year before the financial crisis and 100 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 TW5 is
This is a thin market: 94 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.
What tenants pay around TW5
The local authority for TW5 is Hounslow, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,933 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,567 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,054, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Hounslow
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,933 a month is £23,196 a year, which against the £510,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.5%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in TW
Real sold prices by size across the TW area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
