Summary
House prices in WC1X: the typical (median) sold price is £999,000, well above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index, July 2026). Over the last twelve months the local median is up 41.5%, comparing 36 sales with 69, so a handful of homes can swing it. WC1X is a quiet market, with about 8 recorded sales a month. By property type, 92% were flats (typically £989,400) and 8% were terraced homes (typically £2,000,000).
Data from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, up to 28 August 2026.
Council tax on a Band D home there is £2,208 a year: Camden's published charge for 2026-27.

Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on WC1X: a quiet market, so take your time
At around 8 sales a month, WC1X is quiet, so the median can look stronger than the market really is.
If you are selling, a spread from £416,300 to £1,630,300 makes £999,000 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; cash buyers typically offer around 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote), which only makes sense if certainty is worth that much to you.
Sell houseIf you are buying, on price, WC1X 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 WC1X home we would check the lease (length, ground rent and service charge), what has been applied for nearby (6,162 applications on record within 500 m) and whether a new-build premium is baked into the price, and ask a conveyancer to read the title.
For what the averages cannot tell you, the free WC1X OfferCheck brings flood, crime, planning and council tax together.

In plain English
What the Camden (WC1X) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: terraced homes sold for a typical £2,000,000 against £989,400 for flats: about 2.0 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £416,300 and £1,630,300, so the median says little about any one home.
- 86% 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.
- 41% 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.
- This is a quiet district: only about 8 recorded sales a month.

Across the 12 sampled WC1X postcodes, deprivation runs decile 2 to decile 5, with a median of decile 4 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
WC1X 0ES, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 4 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

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 WC1X spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in WC1X: 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 WC1X, band by band
Camden's council tax for 2026-27 set against the WC1X median sold price of £999,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,472 | £123 | 0.15% |

| H | over £320,000 | £4,415 | £368 | 0.44% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the WC1X 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.
