W5 2 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.

A typical W5 2 home, priced year by year (1995 to 2026)

| 1996 | £100,000 | £210,896 | 212 |
| 1995 | £97,500 | £211,950 | 193 |
In cash terms the typical W5 2 home went from £97,500 in 1995 to £517,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 144%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 45% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the W5 2 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 2013 (+27.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−23.4%). 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) | −10.8% | −12.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.0% | −5.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.3% | −4.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 34 sales completed in W5 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 211 sales a year before the financial crisis and 130 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 tenants pay around W5 2
For renting purposes W5 2 sits in Ealing. The ONS average private rent there is £2,060 a month (May 2026). 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 £517,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.8%. 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.
Reading the W5 2 market
This is a thin market: 34 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. Against the W5 district median, W5 2 sits 12% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What happens to W5 2 prices now?
No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is down 5% over five years in cash but down 25% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
On the market in W5 today
Turning to what is actually available: 116 homes on the market right now, from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole W5 district, not just W5 2: live asking prices are collected per district.
27% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
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
What homes of each size actually sold for across the W area, 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%) |

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