Ealing market report W5 5, London
The standing W5 5 (Ealing) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Everything below comes from 2,850 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in W5 5 (London) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: the 2026 median for W5 5 (London) is £457,500, from 10 registered sales, down 27% on five years earlier; the mean is £761,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £8,600 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 2,850 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
W5 5 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.

What a home in W5 5 sells for
The W5 5 median stands at £457,500 for 2026, built from 10 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £761,100, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
W5 5 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of W5 5 sales average about £8,600 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.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts W5 5 61% above the country at large.

In cash terms the typical W5 5 home went from £110,000 in 1995 to £457,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 91%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2016, and today's median remains roughly 59% under it: a 2016 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the W5 5 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 2024 (+60.2% 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.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −29.6% | −31.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −6.1% | −10.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −5.4% | −8.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.2% | −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.
Sales activity in W5 5
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.
W5 5 recorded 10 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 120 sales a year before the financial crisis and 65 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 rental side of W5 5
W5 5 falls under Ealing, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,060 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,590 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £3,217, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £457,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.4%. 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 5 trades
This is a thin market: 10 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 5 sits 22% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What another bedroom costs in W
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%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
