188 sales were registered in W4 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £822,500. The mean works out at £1,067,400, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
House prices per square metre in W4

| 1995 | £120,900 | £262,818 | 1,070 |
In cash terms the typical W4 home went from £120,900 in 1995 to £822,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 213%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 28% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the W4 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 (+27.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−12.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What W4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.3% | −2.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +1.1% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 52% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £1,508,800 against £490,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

Transaction volumes
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.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 432 sales completed in W4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,124 sales a year before the financial crisis and 554 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.
The rental side of W4
For renting purposes W4 sits in Hounslow. The ONS average private rent there is £1,933 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,567 a month here against £3,054 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Hounslow
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,933 a month is £23,196 a year, which against the £822,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.8%. 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.
How W4 trades
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.

Moving up a bedroom in W: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the W area, 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | — | £1,185,000 | £1,648,050 (+39%) | £2,400,000 (+46%) |

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.
