It costs £21 million to live on the most expensive street in Britain. What is the most expensive street near you?

Britain’s 10 most expensive streets are all in London, new data reveals.

For wealthier buyers, properties in Knightsbridge, which is the street home to One Hyde Park, are the most expensive, with an average price of £21,409,000.

Ilchester Place in London is the second most expensive street to buy a house, with prices around £19,387,000.

Grosvenor Square and Clarendon Road are the third and fourth most expensive streets in London to buy property, with houses typically costing £19,061,000 and £17,030,000 respectively, Lloyds said.

Although still in the top 10, worth £13,696,000, properties on The Little Boltons street in Chelsea cost £7 million less than those in the heart of Knightsbridge.

Amanda Bryden, head of mortgages at Lloyds, said: “London’s dominance in the list of most expensive streets underlines the city’s continued attractiveness and subsequent competitiveness at the top end of the property market.”

“However, with £21.4 million to buy a home, even those with deepest pockets might balk at the price.”

Taking into account the 10 most expensive streets in London, buyers need an average of £16.5 million to buy a home.

With the national average house price hovering around £356,925, the country’s most expensive properties are almost 60 times more expensive than a typical house.

Ms Bryden, of Lloyds, said: “The cost of securing a prestigious address varies across the country. For example, living on the most expensive street in Wales means paying around £1.3 million, although this is still a significant amount. .’

Toby Leek, Chairman of NAEA Propertymark, said: ‘Knightsbridge showcases the enduring appeal of prime real estate in London, particularly in areas renowned for their exclusivity and proximity to world-class amenities.

‘The report also illustrates stark regional disparities. While a house on East Road in Weybridge, the most expensive street outside London, costs on average more than £8 million, the most expensive properties in Wales are priced significantly lower, averaging around £1.3 millions.

“These figures highlight the varied dynamics of the UK property market, where location and prestige dramatically influence valuations.”

He added: ‘This report is a fascinating snapshot of where the UK’s richest choose to invest in real estate. As we approach the year 2025, these trends are likely to continue to shape debates about housing policy and urban development.”

How to find a new mortgage

Borrowers who need a mortgage because their current fixed-rate agreement is ending or because they are buying a home should explore their options as soon as possible.

What happens if I need to remortgage?

Borrowers should compare rates, talk to a mortgage broker and be prepared to take action.

Homeowners can close a new deal six to nine months in advance, often with no obligation to accept it.

Most mortgage agreements allow fees to be added to the loan and are only charged when requested. This means borrowers can get a rate without paying expensive processing fees.

Please note that by doing this and not paying off the fee upon completion, interest will be paid on the fee amount for the entire term of the loan, so this may not be the best option for everyone.

What happens if I am buying a house?

Those with agreed-upon home purchases should also try to lock in rates as early as possible, so they know exactly what their monthly payments will be.

Buyers should avoid overreaching and be aware that home prices may fall as higher mortgage rates limit people’s borrowing capacity and purchasing power.
