In cash terms the typical TW9 home went from £110,000 in 1995 to £685,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 186%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 29% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TW9 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 2002 (+24.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.3%). 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, 49% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £2,267,500 against £525,000 for a flat, 4.3 times the price.

What TW9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −8.7% | −10.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.0% | −6.5% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | −1.2% | −5.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.1% | −2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in TW9
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.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
TW9 recorded 272 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 597 sales a year before the financial crisis and 302 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.
What tenants pay around TW9
TW9 falls under Richmond upon Thames, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
£2,305 a month is £27,660 a year, which against the £685,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.0%. 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 happens to TW9 prices now?

On the market in TW9 today
Everything above is what homes in TW9 sold for. The live side of the market holds 14 homes at the moment, listed by 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 7% below the TW9 median sold price.
Set against 272 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 14 homes on the market here are roughly 3 weeks of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted. Supply that short favours the seller; a sensibly priced home here does not sit for long.
0% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.

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.
The TW9 sales calendar
Across the 1,788 sales completed in TW9 from 2021 to 2025, March was the busiest month for completions (11.0% of the total) and April the quietest (6.5%). The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.

| January | 137 | 7.7% |
| February | 123 | 6.9% |

The price of an extra bedroom in TW
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the TW area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £471,500 | £532,500 (+13%) | £622,500 (+17%) | £791,000 (+27%) | £1,150,000 (+45%) |
| Semi-detached | £417,000 | £465,000 (+12%) | £525,000 (+13%) | £660,000 (+26%) | £1,000,000 (+52%) |
| Terraced | £360,000 | £445,000 (+24%) | £515,000 (+16%) | £760,000 (+48%) | £975,000 (+28%) |
| Flat | £293,000 | £360,000 (+23%) | £485,000 (+35%) | £687,500 (+42%) | £961,500 (+40%) |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
