Market Overview: WC2B
WC2B has a twelve-month median sale price of £836k across 16 Land Registry transactions. Individual sales ranged from £416k to £33.96m, which is a normal spread for a postcode of this size.
The local market is dominated by flats, which made up 81% of all sales in the sample, while other property types accounted for 19%. That flats-heavy composition is typical of central and inner-London postcodes where purpose-built blocks and converted period buildings dominate.
The WC2B 4AY dataset is a reasonable baseline, but decisions at the individual-property level should still lean on matched comparables rather than the area median alone. On the rental side, the estimated gross yield on a median-priced property here is around 2.6%, based on ONS regional rents.
