A typical home in Norwood Green sells for about £435,000, and almost nothing on the market costs that. Flats change hands for around £258,000, which is where most first-time buyers end up. A terraced house costs about £475,000. The few detached houses go for around £800,000. The median is the price of a house that falls somewhere between the flat you can afford and the semi you wanted.
The Land Registry recorded 94 sales in Norwood Green in the year to late May 2026, at a median of £435,000. The 38 flats had a median of about £258,000 and the 35 terraced houses about £475,000. The 16 semis fetched about £536,000, and the five detached sales about £800,000. Flats and terraces were nearly three-quarters of those sales, so the median is mostly a tug of war between those two. If the flat is leasehold, find out who owns the freehold before you get attached to the canal view.
The house price index for the wider area put the average price at about £569,000 in May 2026, down about 2.5% on the year. Flats in the same index fell about 4.7% over the same twelve months. A drop of that size is small for houses and noticeable for flats. It is the price change over one past year and says nothing certain about the next one. The people who bought a flat in spring 2025 have the clearest view of it.
Ealing Council puts most homes here in Band C, and about 23% are in the two cheapest bands, A and B. A Band D home in Ealing pays about £2,140 a year, which is the figure to hold up against your current bill. The canalside cottages and the bigger houses by the green are not where the Band A homes are.
Private renters pay around the Ealing average, which the Office for National Statistics puts at about £2,060 a month for the borough as a whole as of April 2026, up about 1% on the year. Across Ealing, that averages about £1,590 for a one-bed, £1,980 for a two-bed, £2,340 for a three-bed and £3,220 for four bedrooms or more. These are means from the official rent index, not the asking prices on a letting site. There is no separate figure for studios or rooms.
Median household income in Norwood Green was about £60,300 before tax in the financial year to March 2023, modelled by the Office for National Statistics and averaged across the area. Next to a £435,000 median price, that makes a house a stretch on one income and a flat the realistic start. That income figure is also three years old, and before tax it always looks better than it does by the time it reaches the bank.
Of the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate, about 69% of the total, the median price was about £5,620 per square metre. The typical floor area behind that is about 86 square metres, which is a modest family home and a generous flat. The sales without a certificate match are missing from the figure, and they tend to be the homes that have not changed hands in years.
The 2021 census counted about 17% of homes with one bedroom, 25% with two, 39% with three and 20% with four or more. Three bedrooms is the most common size here, even though flats outsell everything else. The family houses exist. They come up for sale less often than the flats do.
Norwood Green is a middling buy. A flat is cheap for London, a family house is priced like the rest of west London, and anyone on a local salary is looking at the flats first.
