Most expensive postcode districts in England & Wales

SW3 (Chelsea) is the most expensive postcode district in England & Wales at a median of £15,600 per m², from 180 matched sales in the 12 months to August 2026. E1W completes the top 50 at £8,050 per m². 1,664 districts in England & Wales qualified, counting only those with at least 100 matched sales in the window. That matched count is the denominator the ranked median is computed over.

Ranked by median price per square metre from HM Land Registry sold prices matched to EPC floor areas. 1 otherwise-eligible district is left out because its sales window is not 12 months.

Frequently asked questions

How is this table ranked?

Postcode districts are ranked by their median price per square metre, the middle value of sold price divided by EPC floor area across every matched sale in the 12 months to August 2026. Every district shown had at least 100 matched sales in that window, so a rank is never built on a handful of transactions.

Why is a district missing from this table?

Either it had fewer than 100 matched sales in the 12 months to August 2026 (too thin a sample to rank honestly), or it sits outside England & Wales. The table shows the top 50 of 1,664 districts that qualified.

How current are these figures?

The whole dataset is rebuilt monthly from the current HM Land Registry release; this table covers sales in the 12 months to August 2026. Registrations lag sales by 2–8 weeks. The newest sales appear a month or two after completion.
