In cash terms the typical W14 9 home went from £90,800 in 1995 to £545,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 176%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2015, and today's median remains roughly 35% under it: a 2015 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the W14 9 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 2007 (+30.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−5.5%). 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) | −2.7% | −5.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.5% | −5.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.2% | −3.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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 W14 9
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.
W14 9 recorded 61 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 326 sales a year before the financial crisis and 132 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.
Rents around W14 9
W14 9 falls under Hammersmith and Fulham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,770 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,959 a month for a typical one-bed to £4,110 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Hammersmith and Fulham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£2,770 a month is £33,240 a year, which against the £545,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.1%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: W prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the W area, 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | — | £1,185,000 | £1,648,050 (+39%) | £2,400,000 (+46%) |
| Semi-detached | — | £650,000 | £850,000 (+31%) | £1,175,000 (+38%) | £1,681,250 (+43%) |

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
