Acton market report W3 7, London
The standing W3 7 (Acton) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. The raw material for this page is 5,983 HM Land Registry entries for W3 7 (London), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 36 registered 2026 sales put the W3 7 (London) median at £397,500, down 17% on five years earlier, with a mean of £601,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £7,210 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 5,983 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
W3 7 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.

Today's W3 7 prices, from the sold record
The W3 7 median stands at £397,500 for 2026, built from 36 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £601,400, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
W3 7 prices by floor area
The last five years of sales put W3 7 at roughly £7,210 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so W3 7 trades 39% above the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical W3 7 home went from £79,200 in 1995 to £397,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 131%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 42% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the W3 7 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 2014 (+28.6% 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.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −18.4% | −20.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.7% | −8.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.5% | −4.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.4% |
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.
Sales activity in W3 7
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 36 sales completed in W3 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 234 sales a year before the financial crisis and 156 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market W3 7 is
This is a thin market: 36 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. Against the W3 district median, W3 7 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of W3 7
W3 7 falls under Ealing, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,060 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,590 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,217, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £397,500 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.

W3's current homes for sale
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 7: live asking prices are collected per district.
46% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
"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. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
The risers and the fallers

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.
