In cash terms the typical TW9 3 home went from £95,000 in 1995 to £750,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 263%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 44% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the TW9 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 1996 (+87.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−33.0%). 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) | −9.7% | −11.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.5% | −7.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.3% | −3.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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 TW9 3
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 3 recorded 21 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 105 sales a year before the financial crisis and 53 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.
Reading the TW9 3 market
Only 21 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TW9 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Within TW9, this sector trades 10% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What tenants pay around TW9 3
For renting purposes TW9 3 sits in Richmond upon Thames. The ONS average private rent there is £2,305 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £750,000 median purchase price, a rent of £2,305 a month (£27,660 a year) works out at a 3.7% 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.

What another bedroom costs in TW
What homes of each size actually sold for across the TW area, 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.
