Ealing market report W5 1, London
The W5 1 (Ealing) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 5,000 registered sales in W5 1 (London) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 34 registered 2026 sales put the W5 1 (London) median at £732,500, up 65% on five years earlier, with a mean of £730,300, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £7,700 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 5,000 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
W5 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside W5 (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.

The W5 1 median stands at £732,500 for 2026, built from 34 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £730,300, practically level with it: prices here bunch tightly around the middle.
What a square metre costs in W5 1
Measured by floor area, the last five years of W5 1 sales average about £7,700 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving W5 1 157% above the national figure.
The price of a typical W5 1 home, 1995 to 2026
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical W5 1 home went from £112,000 in 1995 to £732,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 201%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 31% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the W5 1 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 2022 (+67.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2021 (−45.4%). 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) | +4.6% | +2.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +10.5% | +5.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.8% | −2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.3% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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, 34 sales completed in W5 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 223 sales a year before the financial crisis and 95 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 tenants pay around W5 1
W5 1 falls under Ealing, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,060 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,590 a month here against £3,217 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £732,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.4%. 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 W5 1 trades
Only 34 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes W5 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Against the W5 district median, W5 1 sits 25% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 65% over five years in cash and up 30% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Moving up a bedroom in W: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the W area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
