Summary
House prices in W1F: the typical (median) sold price is £1,562,400, well above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index, July 2026). Over the last twelve months the local median is down 46.3%, comparing 22 sales with 35, so a handful of homes can swing it. W1F is a quiet market, with about 4 recorded sales a month. By property type, 96% were flats (typically £1,396,500) and 4% were terraced homes (typically £3,462,500).

Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on W1F: few sales, so go in with your eyes open
W1F has seen just 250 sales since June 2021, and prices have drifted down, so sellers should plan for a longer sale and buyers can afford to be patient.
When selling here, the spread in W1F is wide, with most sales between £399,500 and £6,320,000, so lean on the nearest like-for-like sale rather than the middle figure; sales are too rare here to hurry, so give the price a local agent’s sense-check; if certainty matters more than price, a quick cash sale usually means accepting about 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote).
Sell houseFor buyers, W1F sits well above the UK average for typical prices, but the local median has slipped, so it is fair to test an asking price, though a dip is not a trend.
Worth checking before you commit: lease length, ground rent and service charge, planning history nearby (25,316 applications on record within 500 m) and what you are paying for a new-build premium; your conveyancer should look at the title too.
Averages only go so far, so the free W1F OfferCheck sets flood, crime, planning and council tax beside the sold prices.

In plain English
What the Westminster (W1F) numbers mean
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £399,500 and £6,320,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- 80% of these sales were leasehold, which marks a flat-heavy market. Buyers here weigh remaining lease length, ground rent and service charges as much as the price.
- 38% of these sales were new builds, which often sell at a premium the first time around and can lift the median above what resale homes make.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.
- This is a quiet district: only about 4 recorded sales a month.

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.

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 W1F spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in W1F: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the W1F 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.
