Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on WC1R: a quiet market, so take your time
WC1R has seen just 65 sales since January 2020, which gives us little to generalise from, so read the middle figure with caution and the individual sales with interest.
If you are thinking of selling, a spread from £443,000 to £15,424,454 makes £880,000 a poor guide to any one home, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; 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 looking to buy, on price, WC1R is well above the UK average, so a price above the norm for the area should be earned by the home itself, not assumed.
Before an offer goes in on any WC1R home, look at the lease (length, ground rent and service charge), what has been applied for nearby (8,615 applications on record within 500 m) and long-term flood risk, and leave the title to your conveyancer.
The sold prices leave a lot open; the free WC1R OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English
What the Camden (WC1R) numbers mean
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £443,000 and £15,424,454, so the median says little about any one home.
- 72% 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.
- This is a quiet district: only about 1 recorded sale a month.
Only 65 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

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 WC1R spans several.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in WC1R, band by band
Camden's council tax for 2026-27 set against the WC1R median sold price of £880,000 across 65 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 WC1R 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.
