In cash terms the typical W7 home went from £73,500 in 1995 to £571,800 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 258%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2016; the current median sits about 25% 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 W7 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 (+26.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.1%). 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) | +4.0% | +1.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.5% | −2.8% |
| 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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 43% of the typed total. In 2024, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £1,020,000 against £422,000 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

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
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 186 sales completed in W7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 567 sales a year before the financial crisis and 258 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 shape of the W7 market
Among the 25 measurable districts of its area, W7 ranks 22 by median price: towards the affordable end.
The rental side of W7

Average monthly rent by size, Ealing
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £571,800 median purchase price, a rent of £2,060 a month (£24,720 a year) works out at a 4.3% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Bedroom by bedroom: W prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the W area. 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
