Summary
House prices in W1G: the typical (median) sold price is £1,700,000, well above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index, July 2026). Over the last twelve months the local median is broadly flat (0%), comparing 41 sales with 68, so a handful of homes can swing it. W1G is a quiet market, with about 5 recorded sales a month. By property type, 86% were flats (typically £1,512,500) and 14% were terraced homes (typically £4,050,000).
Data from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, up to 28 August 2026.
Council tax on a Band D home there is £2,108 a year: Islington's published charge for 2026-27.

Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on W1G: a quiet market, so take your time
At around 5 sales a month, W1G is quiet, and prices have barely moved, so the right buyer matters more than the right moment.
If you are selling, a spread from £431,867 to £7,650,000 makes £1,700,000 a poor guide to any one home, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; 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 houseIf you are buying, W1G sits well above the UK average for typical prices, and holding steady, so ask what an asking price offers beyond the recent sold homes of the same type.
Before an offer goes in on any W1G home, look at the lease (length, ground rent and service charge), what has been applied for nearby (16,383 applications on record within 500 m) and whether the home is at risk of flooding, and leave the title to your conveyancer.
With averages this broad, the free W1G OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning and council tax from the official sources.

In plain English
What the Islington (W1G) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: terraced homes sold for a typical £4,050,000 against £1,512,500 for flats: about 2.7 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £431,867 and £7,650,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- 87% 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.
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 5 recorded sales a month.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled W1G postcodes, deprivation runs decile 5 to decile 9, with a median of decile 9 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
W1G 6PP, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 9 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 W1G spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in W1G: 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.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in W1G, band by band
Islington's council tax for 2026-27 set against the W1G median sold price of £1,700,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearIslington | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £1,700,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,405 | £117 | 0.08% |

| H | over £320,000 | £4,216 | £351 | 0.25% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the W1G 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.
