Summary
House prices in W1D: the typical (median) sold price is £1,450,000, well above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index, July 2026). Over the last twelve months the local median is up 82.5%, comparing 21 sales with 25, so a handful of homes can swing it. W1D is a quiet market, with about 2 recorded sales a month. By property type, 90% were flats (typically £757,500) and 10% were terraced homes (typically £3,810,000).
Data from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, up to 28 August 2026.

Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on W1D: few sales, so go in with your eyes open
W1D sees just 2 sales a month, at a median above last year’s, which says something about those homes and rather less about yours.
For sellers, £1,450,000 is only the middle of a market that runs from £100,000 to £24,620,840, so the closest sold homes of your type say much more than the middle; with so little to compare, give yourself extra time; a quick cash sale buys certainty at a cost, usually about 70–85% of market value as a rough guide, not a quote, so weigh it carefully.
Sell houseWhen buying here, W1D sits well above the UK average for typical prices, and rising, so do not let a fast-moving market push you past what the sold homes of your type support.
Worth checking before you commit: planning history nearby (25,190 applications on record within 500 m), whether it is freehold or leasehold and whether the home is at risk of flooding; your conveyancer should look at the title too.
The sold prices leave a lot open; the free W1D OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English
What the Westminster (W1D) numbers mean
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £100,000 and £24,620,840, so the median says little about any one home.
- 63% of these sales were leasehold: a genuine mix of houses and flats, so check the tenure of the home you are looking at.
- This is a quiet district: only about 2 recorded sales a month.
Only 172 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

These are Westminster's charges for 2026-27, the authority W1D falls in, not an estimate for any individual home. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled W1D postcodes, deprivation runs decile 3 to decile 4, with a median of decile 4 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
W1D 4SH, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 4 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so W1D spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in W1D: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the W1D median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
