Summary
House prices in WC2B: the typical (median) sold price is £1,250,000, well above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index, July 2026). Over the last twelve months the local median is down 16.8%, comparing 16 sales with 32, so a handful of homes can swing it. WC2B is a quiet market, with about 3 recorded sales a month. Nearly all the recorded sales were flats (typically £1,200,000).
Data from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, up to 28 August 2026.

Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on WC2B: few sales, so go in with your eyes open
At around 3 sales a month, WC2B is quiet, at a lower median than a year ago, so the pressure is on sellers and buyers can take their time.
For sellers, £1,250,000 is only the middle of a market that runs from £434,200 to £3,840,000, so the closest sold homes of your type say much more than the middle; with so few sales, allow extra time and a local agent’s view; 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 houseWhen buying here, typical prices in WC2B 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.
Before you offer in WC2B, check lease length, ground rent and service charge, planning history nearby (14,151 applications on record within 500 m) and what you are paying for a new-build premium, and ask your conveyancer about the title.
The sold prices leave a lot open; the free WC2B OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English
What the Camden (WC2B) numbers mean
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £434,200 and £3,840,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- 92% 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.
- 35% 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.
Only 203 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.
- This is a quiet district: only about 3 recorded sales a month.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled WC2B postcodes, deprivation runs all in decile 4, with a median of decile 4 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
WC2B 5RX, 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. 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 WC2B spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in WC2B: 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 WC2B, band by band
Camden's council tax for 2026-27 set against the WC2B median sold price of £1,250,000 across 203 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 WC2B 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.
