Today's W9 prices, from the sold record
In the W9 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £625,000, from 107 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £741,900, sitting 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

The price of a typical W9 home, 1995 to 2026
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

| 1996 | £120,000 | £253,075 | 961 |
| 1995 | £111,800 | £243,036 | 778 |
In cash terms the typical W9 home went from £111,800 in 1995 to £625,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 157%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2015; the current median sits about 34% below that. Someone who bought at the 2015 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the W9 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 (+24.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−12.6%). 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, 93% of the typed total. In 2000, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £1,450,000 against £194,500 for a flat, 7.5 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years

| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.8% | −6.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.4% | −3.7% |
| 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.
Sales activity in W9
The year-by-year sales count
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 284 W9 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 911 sales a year before the financial crisis and 345 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.
Rents around W9
W9 falls under Westminster, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Westminster
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £625,000 median purchase price, a rent of £3,163 a month (£37,956 a year) works out at a 6.1% 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
What homes of each size actually sold for across the W area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

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.
