W1T sold prices: where the market stands
Take the 15 registered 2026 sales in W1T and the middle price, the median, is £675,000. The mean lands at £946,200, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
House prices per square metre in W1T
A square metre of W1T home has cost about £16,370 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving W1T 137% above the national figure.

In cash terms the typical W1T home went from £96,800 in 1995 to £675,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 221%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2018, and today's median remains roughly 68% under it: a 2018 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the W1T 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 2008 (+58.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−30.9%). 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) | −28.4% | −30.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −15.0% | −18.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −7.0% | −10.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.2% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 96% of the typed total.

The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 28 sales completed in W1T. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 82 sales a year before the financial crisis and 43 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.
Rents around W1T
The local authority for W1T is Camden, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £2,759 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £2,008 a month for a typical one-bed to £3,890 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Camden
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £675,000 median sold price, £2,759 a month is £33,108 a year, a gross yield of 4.9%: 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.
How W1T trades
This is a thin market: 28 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. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: W prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the W area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | — | £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%) |

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.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
