Ealing market report W5 3, London
The standing W5 3 (Ealing) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. The raw material for this page is 4,914 HM Land Registry entries for W5 3 (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.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the 2026 median for W5 3 (London) is £650,000, from 41 registered sales, up 12% on five years earlier; the mean is £975,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £7,950 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 4,914 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
W5 3 is one sector of W5 (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.

In cash terms the typical W5 3 home went from £95,500 in 1995 to £650,000 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. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the W5 3 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 2020 (+30.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2021 (−16.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What W5 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +10.8% | +8.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.1% | −2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.5% |
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, 41 sales completed in W5 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 221 sales a year before the financial crisis and 94 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 W5 3 market
This is a thin market: 41 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. 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 3 sits 11% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of W5 3
For renting purposes W5 3 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 £650,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in W
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | — | £1,185,000 | £1,648,050 (+39%) | £2,400,000 (+46%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
