W3 9 is one sector of W3 (London): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

Today's W3 9 prices, from the sold record
22 sales were registered in W3 9 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £440,000. The mean works out at £639,300, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
What a square metre costs in W3 9
The last five years of sales put W3 9 at roughly £7,370 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.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving W3 9 54% above the national figure.

In cash terms the typical W3 9 home went from £99,400 in 1995 to £440,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 104%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2019. The market now sits about 45% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the W3 9 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 2019 (+34.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−29.6%). 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) | −29.6% | −31.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −5.8% | −10.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.4% | −4.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.8% |
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.
Sales activity in W3 9
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, 22 sales completed in W3 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 121 sales a year before the financial crisis and 76 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.
The shape of the W3 9 market
This is a thin market: 22 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.
The rental side of W3 9
The local authority for W3 9 is Ealing, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Against the £440,000 median purchase price, a rent of £2,060 a month (£24,720 a year) works out at a 5.6% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is down 26% over five years in cash but down 41% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
W3's current homes for sale
Turning to what is actually available: 91 homes on the market right now, from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole W3 district, not just W3 9: live asking prices are collected per district.
46% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Moving up a bedroom in W: the cost
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
