Hanwell market report W7 1, London
The standing W7 1 (Hanwell) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. This page is built from the public record and nothing else: 3,515 completed sales registered with HM Land Registry in W7 1 (London) since 1995, plus current ONS rental figures. There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 26 registered 2026 sales put the W7 1 (London) median at £512,500, up 6% on five years earlier, with a mean of £635,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £6,440 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 3,515 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
W7 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside W7 (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.

What a square metre costs in W7 1

In cash terms the typical W7 1 home went from £67,500 in 1995 to £512,500 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 249%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 21% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the W7 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 2014 (+24.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−5.5%). 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) | +1.3% | −1.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 26 sales completed in W7 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 172 sales a year before the financial crisis and 64 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.
The rental side of W7 1
W7 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.
Set against the £512,500 median sold price, £2,060 a month is £24,720 a year, a gross yield of 4.8%: 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.
How W7 1 trades
This is a thin market: 26 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. Against the W7 district median, W7 1 sits 10% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 6% over five years in cash but down 17% after inflation.

What you could buy in W7 now
The live side of the market holds 14 homes at the moment, listed by 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole W7 district, not just W7 1: live asking prices are collected per district.
29% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

Moving up a bedroom in W: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the W area. 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%) |

| 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
