W3 6 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside W3 (London). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical W3 6 home went from £78,200 in 1995 to £398,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 134%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2016, and today's median remains roughly 40% under it: a 2016 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the W3 6 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 1999 (+33.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−17.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −17.5% | −19.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −4.7% | −9.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.8% | −5.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
W3 6 recorded 35 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 285 sales a year before the financial crisis and 179 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 W3 6 is
This is a thin market: 35 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
The rental side of W3 6
W3 6 falls under Ealing, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,060 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
£2,060 a month is £24,720 a year, which against the £398,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.2%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in W: the cost
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | — | £1,185,000 | £1,648,050 (+39%) | £2,400,000 (+46%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
