The W3 0 (Acton) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Everything below comes from 2,319 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in W3 0 (London) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the 2026 median for W3 0 (London) is £609,000, from 16 registered sales, down 13% on five years earlier; the mean is £609,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £7,180 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 2,319 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
A postcode sector like W3 0 is a single group of streets within W3 (London), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

In cash terms the typical W3 0 home went from £98,000 in 1995 to £609,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 186%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2018, and today's median remains roughly 37% under it: a 2018 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the W3 0 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 1998 (+34.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−18.4%). 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) | −18.4% | −20.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.7% | −7.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.6% | −3.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.3% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 16 W3 0 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 106 sales a year before the financial crisis and 42 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.
How W3 0 trades
This is a thin market: 16 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. Within W3, this sector trades 42% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
The rental side of W3 0
For renting purposes W3 0 sits in Ealing. The ONS average private rent there is £2,060 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,590 a month for a typical one-bed to £3,217 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Ealing
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £609,000 median sold price, £2,060 a month is £24,720 a year, a gross yield of 4.1%: 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.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is down 13% over five years in cash but down 31% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
What is for sale in W3 right now
The live side of the market holds 91 homes at the moment, listed by 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole W3 district, not just W3 0: live asking prices are collected per district.
46% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

Moving up a bedroom in W: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the W 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 | — | — | £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%) |
| Terraced | £563,825 | £675,000 (+20%) | £875,000 (+30%) | £1,200,000 (+37%) | £1,750,000 (+46%) |
| Flat | £450,000 | £630,000 (+40%) | £1,100,000 (+75%) | £2,300,000 (+109%) | £4,100,000 (+78%) |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
