Ealing market report W5, London
The standing W5 (Ealing) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 25,048 sales registered with HM Land Registry in W5 (London) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 162 registered 2026 sales put the W5 (London) median at £585,000, up 2% on five years earlier, with a mean of £753,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £8,060 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 25,048 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
W5 is the postcode district covering Ealing, South Ealing, Ealing Common in London. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

Today's W5 prices, from the sold record
Take the 162 registered 2026 sales in W5 and the middle price, the median, is £585,000. The mean lands at £753,000, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
W5 prices by floor area
By floor space, homes in W5 have sold for about £8,060 per square metre on average over the last five years: the like-for-like measure that lets you compare a small flat with a large house, from the Energy Performance Certificate floor areas behind each sale.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so W5 trades 105% above the country as a whole.

| 1995 | £99,000 | £215,211 | 853 |
In cash terms the typical W5 home went from £99,000 in 1995 to £585,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 172%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2016; the current median sits about 32% below that. Someone who bought at the 2016 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the W5 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 (+19.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2021 (−13.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 57% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £1,975,000 against £445,000 for a flat, 4.4 times the price.

What W5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.4% | −8.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.5% | −3.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 382 W5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,064 sales a year before the financial crisis and 515 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
W5 falls under Ealing, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,060 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £585,000 median sold price, £2,060 a month is £24,720 a year, a gross yield of 4.2%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
What kind of market W5 is
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. In its area's price order W5 comes 20 of 25, towards the cheaper end of the table.
W5 (Ealing): the questions that come up
How much did a house sell for in W5 (Ealing)?
Are property prices falling in W5 (Ealing)?
Is W5 (Ealing) a good place to buy a house?
Are W5 prices heading up or down?
The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
What you could buy in W5 now
Everything above is what homes in W5 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 116 homes on the market right now, from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 88% above the W5 median sold price.
Of everything listed here, 27% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
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%) |
| Terraced | £563,825 | £675,000 (+20%) | £875,000 (+30%) | £1,200,000 (+37%) | £1,750,000 (+46%) |
| Flat | £450,000 | £630,000 (+40%) | £1,100,000 (+75%) | £2,300,000 (+109%) | £4,100,000 (+78%) |
Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
