West London market report W1N

Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 53 sales registered with HM Land Registry in W1N (West London) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to January 2009; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the middle 2009 sale in W1N (West London) came in at £405,000, out of 1 registered, down 55% on five years earlier, and the mean stands at £405,000. The record behind it is 53 completed sales lodged with HM Land Registry since 1995, monthly refreshed, with no valuations or asking prices anywhere in the figures.
The postcode district W1N sits in West London. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.
What buyers actually paid in W1N
In the W1N property market, the 2009 median sale price is £405,000, from 1 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £405,000, sitting practically level with it: prices here bunch tightly around the middle.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so W1N trades 42% above the country as a whole.
A typical W1N home, priced year by year (1995 to 2009)

In cash terms the typical W1N home went from £92,000 in 1995 to £405,000 in 2009, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 103%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2003, and today's median remains roughly 69% under it: a 2003 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the W1N 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 2003 (+341.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2002 (−68.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What W1N has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2008) | −19.3% | −20.9% |
| 5 years (since 2004) | −14.8% | −16.8% |
| 10 years (since 1999) | +9.7% | +7.4% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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 register shows 13 W1N sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 4 sales a year before the financial crisis and 2 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market W1N is
Only 13 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes W1N 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. By median price W1N sits at the bottom of its postcode area: the cheapest way in, with the least expectation already in the price.

Bedroom by bedroom: W prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the W 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.

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
