The raw material for this page is 2,980 HM Land Registry entries for TW9 1 (Richmond), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

What a home in TW9 1 sells for
The TW9 1 median stands at £612,500 for 2026, built from 20 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £793,400, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
TW9 1 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of TW9 1 sales average about £9,830 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts TW9 1 115% above the country at large.

In cash terms the typical TW9 1 home went from £104,500 in 1995 to £612,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 170%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2019, and today's median remains roughly 36% under it: a 2019 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TW9 1 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 2001 (+39.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−14.1%). 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) | −5.4% | −7.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.8% | −8.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.9% | −2.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
How many homes change hands in TW9 1
Sales per year, counted
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.
TW9 1 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 122 sales a year before the financial crisis and 60 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.
Reading the TW9 1 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 TW9 district median, TW9 1 sits 10% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
Rents around TW9 1
The local authority for TW9 1 is Richmond upon Thames, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £2,305 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,710 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,866, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Richmond upon Thames
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £612,500 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.

What another bedroom costs in TW
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.
