Maida Hill market report W9 1, London

The standing W9 1 (Maida Hill) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 8,335 registered sales in W9 1 (London) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.

In short: a typical W9 1 (London) home changed hands for £785,000 in 2026 (median of 40 registered sales, down 22% on five years earlier), with the mean at £922,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £12,600 per square metre over the last five years. Source: 8,335 completed sales on the HM Land Registry record since 1995, updated with each monthly release. No valuations, no asking prices.

W9 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside W9 (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 buyers actually paid in W9 1

The W9 1 median stands at £785,000 for 2026, built from 40 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £922,700, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.

What a square metre costs in W9 1

Measured by floor area, the last five years of W9 1 sales average about £12,600 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.

Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, W9 1 sits 175% above the national market.

In cash terms the typical W9 1 home went from £136,500 in 1995 to £785,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 165%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2015. The market now sits about 44% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 1999 (+24.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−12.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

The long view: annualised growth

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

Over the last twelve months of data, 40 sales completed in W9 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 387 sales a year before the financial crisis and 135 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.

How W9 1 trades

This is a thin market: 40 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. Within W9, this sector trades 26% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Rents around W9 1

The local authority for W9 1 is Westminster, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £3,163 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £2,517 a month here against £5,378 for four or more bedrooms.

Set against the £785,000 median sold price, £3,163 a month is £37,956 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.

Common questions on W9 1 (Maida Hill)

Where do W9 1 prices go next?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 22% over five years in cash but down 38% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.

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.
