Genuine reviews from our Google Business Profile

Roger assisted me in purchasing my first home during lockdown. He was helpful and provided great guidance during this process, especially as a first time buyer. I have since used him to remortgage too. Would recommend his services.

Westminster's housing market in 2026

The average property in Westminster sold for £1,310,523 over the past year, down 24% on the year before and 39% below the borough's 2023 peak of £2,131,197, one of the sharpest corrections recorded in central London. Flats made up the bulk of sales at £1,063,388 on average, with terraced houses near Marylebone and Pimlico averaging £2,553,205 and semi-detached homes reaching £5,889,286.

A fall of this size doesn't reduce the importance of life cover, if anything, buyers taking advantage of softer Westminster prices to secure a larger mortgage than they might have a year ago should size their life insurance to the new loan, not an old market assumption.
