Summary
House prices in W1H: the typical (median) sold price is £1,270,000, well above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index, July 2026). Over the last twelve months the local median is down 21.6%, comparing 78 sales with 125, so a handful of homes can swing it. W1H is a quiet market, with about 9 recorded sales a month. By property type, 88% were flats (typically £1,200,000) and 11% were terraced homes (typically £1,667,500).

Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on W1H: few sales, so go in with your eyes open
W1H is a thin market, at roughly 9 sales a month, at a lower median than a year ago, so the pressure is on sellers and buyers can take their time.
For sellers, £1,270,000 is only the middle of a market that runs from £420,000 to £3,196,000, 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, typical prices in W1H sit well above the UK average, 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 (11,855 applications on record within 500 m) and long-term flood risk; your conveyancer should look at the title too.
With averages this broad, the free W1H OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning and council tax from the official sources.

In plain English
What the Westminster (W1H) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: terraced homes sold for a typical £1,667,500 against £1,200,000 for flats: 39% more. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £420,000 and £3,196,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- 88% 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 9 recorded sales a month.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled W1H postcodes, deprivation runs decile 5 to decile 8, with a median of decile 5 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
W1H 1DG, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 5 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 W1H spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in W1H: 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.

What it costs to run a home in W1H, band by band
Westminster's council tax for 2026-27 set against the W1H median sold price of £1,270,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the W1H 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.
