Summary
House prices in W1K: the typical (median) sold price is £3,650,000, well above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index, July 2026). Over the last twelve months the local median is up 2.3%, comparing 52 sales with 118, so a handful of homes can swing it. W1K is a quiet market, with about 7 recorded sales a month. By property type, 86% were flats (typically £3,500,000) and 11% were terraced homes (typically £8,450,000).
Data from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, up to 28 August 2026.
Council tax on a Band D home there is £1,050 a year: Westminster's published charge for 2026-27.

Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on W1K: a quiet market, so take your time
At around 7 sales a month, W1K is quiet, and prices are up on last year, but on few sales, so treat the rise as a hint rather than a trend.
If you are selling, with terraced homes at £8,450,000 and flats at £3,500,000, the £68,330 to £16,003,079 spread is really several markets, 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; 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 houseIf you are buying, on price, W1K is well above the UK average, and still climbing, so test the asking price against recent sold homes of the same type before you stretch to meet it.
On any W1K home we would check the lease (length, ground rent and service charge), what has been applied for nearby (16,829 applications on record within 500 m) and flood risk over the long term, and ask a conveyancer to read the title.
For what the averages cannot tell you, the free W1K OfferCheck brings flood, crime, planning and council tax together.

In plain English
What the Westminster (W1K) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: terraced homes sold for a typical £8,450,000 against £3,500,000 for flats: about 2.4 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £68,330 and £16,003,079, so the median says little about any one home.
- 90% 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 7 recorded sales a month.

Installation of 2 non-removable planters on the pavement adjacent to the cafe frontage. 1. Design and Appearance The proposed planters will measure 0.50m ? 1.2m ? 0.75m and will be constructed from natural wood. They will be finished in a dark grey colour to complement the existing streetscape and our restaurant frontage. The planters will be filled with high-quality, seasonal evergreen shrubs and flowers to enhance the visual amenity of the area, soften the urban environment, and support local biodiversity. 2. Layout and Pedestrian Access The planters will be positioned directly against the boundary of our premises at 1.2 m from the building line, ensuring that a continuous, unobstructed pedestrian thoroughfare of at least 2.0m is maintained. This ensures full compliance with local access guidelines and ensures the footway remains entirely accessible for prams, wheelchair users, and pedestrians. 3. Permanence and Safety These planters are designed to be "non-removable" in order to act as robust demarcation for our outdoor seating area, protecting seated patrons from passing vehicular traffic and preventing unauthorised street trading. They will be securely fixed to the pavement to ensure they cannot be moved or toppled. We hold current and valid Public Liability Insurance to cover the external area. 4. Maintenance and Upkeep The planters will be strictly managed and maintained by L?ETO. We commit to regular watering, pruning, and litter clearance within the planters to ensure they remain tidy and attractive at all times. If necessary, the planters can be unbolted and relocated by a professional contractor to allow for essential highway maintenance or utility works.

Across the 12 sampled W1K postcodes, deprivation runs decile 4 to decile 7, with a median of decile 6 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
W1K 2JT, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 6 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 W1K spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in W1K: 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.

Westminster's council tax for 2026-27 set against the W1K median sold price of £3,650,000 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 W1K 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.
