West Hampstead property market: common questions
Where is West Hampstead?
West Hampstead sits in north-west London, mostly in Camden, about 5 miles from the centre.
What is the average house price in West Hampstead?
The median asking price across the 546 homes for sale in West Hampstead is £649,975 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £475,000 and £925,000. That is 13% above London. Homes that actually sold in West Hampstead went for a median £640,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in West Hampstead rising or falling?
Rising over the long run, but falling over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in West Hampstead is up 7% over the last 10 years and down 6% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is West Hampstead cheaper than London?
No: asking prices in West Hampstead are typically higher than across London. The median asking price in West Hampstead is £649,975 against £575k across London: 13% above London. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The premium holds from the lower end to the top of the market.
How many homes are for sale in West Hampstead?
546 homes are on the market in West Hampstead right now, up 4% since 1 Sept, 126 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.
Are house prices being cut in West Hampstead?
72 listings in West Hampstead had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 13% of the homes currently for sale.
How long are homes on the market in West Hampstead?
Of the West Hampstead listings that came off the market in the last 30 days and that we first saw after we began tracking the area, the typical one had been advertised for 86 days. Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.
How much do flats and houses cost in West Hampstead?
The median asking price for a flat in West Hampstead is £600,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £1,595,000 across 23 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in West Hampstead?
The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in West Hampstead is £600,000, across 222 current listings.
What is the price per square foot in West Hampstead?
In West Hampstead, homes that sold went for a median £821 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £822 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (546 in West Hampstead), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked West Hampstead since November 2025.
- London comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of London, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
