W1N house prices are built from 51 sales lodged with HM Land Registry, the oldest in 1997 and the most recent on 9 Jan 2009. The median price paid across the whole record is £242,000. Across the 7 years from 1997 to 2004 the median moved +592.3% in cash — but once inflation is taken out, the change in 2026 money is +505.8%.

Section 01
How W1N prices moved
The chart tracks the median W1N house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2004. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 2 | £130,000 | £288,661 |
| 2000s | 2 | £529,500 | £964,593 |
The highest yearly median on record for W1N is £900,000 in 2004; the lowest is £130,000 in 1997. Across the full 8-year record the cash median has moved from £130,000 to £900,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £275,639, so the real change over the whole record is +505.8% — about +29.35% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +592.3% in cash against +505.8% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.
Section 02
The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Section 03
Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to W1N values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. W1N is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat or maisonette | 50 | 98.0% | £242,000 | £69,000 – £1,380,000 |
| Terraced | 1 | 2.0% | £95,000 | £95,000 – £95,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in W1N
51 of the sales on record are leasehold and 0 freehold — 100.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 51 | 100.0% | £242,000 |
| Freehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| New build | 2 | 3.9% | £231,409 |
| Existing home | 49 | 96.1% | £242,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -4.4%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 2 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.
Section 09
How W1N compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. W1N sits above that national figure — +53.7%.
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £69,000 to £1,380,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in W1N?
The median price paid in W1N across every sale on the register is £242,000. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in W1N?
51 sales are on record for W1N, the most recent completing on 9 Jan 2009. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have W1N house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +592.3% between 1997 and 2004. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +505.8%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were W1N house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £900,000, set in 2004. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in W1N?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 9 Jan 2009. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
