Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on WC2N: few sales, so go in with your eyes open

WC2N sees just 1 sale a month, which is too few for firm conclusions, so we would lean on individual sold homes rather than any average.

For sellers, £1,537,500 is only the middle of a market that runs from £341,055 to £77,196,500, so the closest sold homes of your type say much more than the middle; with so little to compare, give yourself extra time.

When buying here, WC2N sits well above the UK average for typical prices, so a price above the norm for the area should be earned by the home itself, not assumed.

Before you offer in WC2N, check lease length, ground rent and service charge, planning history nearby (20 applications on record within 500 m) and crime (Police.UK logged 4,386 offences nearby in its latest month; that is a count, not a rate), and ask your conveyancer about the title.
