In cash terms the typical W9 3 home went from £71,500 in 1995 to £487,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 214%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2016, and today's median remains roughly 37% under it: a 2016 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the W9 3 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 1997 (+46.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−15.2%). 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) | −15.2% | −17.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.4% | −6.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.2% | −4.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 32 W9 3 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 245 sales a year before the financial crisis and 102 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 kind of market W9 3 is
This is a thin market: 32 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 22% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
The rental side of W9 3
For renting purposes W9 3 sits in Westminster. The ONS average private rent there is £3,163 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £2,517 a month here against £5,378 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Westminster
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £487,500 median purchase price, a rent of £3,163 a month (£37,956 a year) works out at a 7.8% 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.

What another bedroom costs in W
Real sold prices by size across the W area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.

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