London dominates the priciest streets list and those dreaming of owning a home on one of these will need deep pockets, with average prices now £16.5 million.

With the average UK house price at £356,925, the most expensive properties in the country are almost 60 times more than a typical home. Wealthy buyers looking for a cheaper exclusive street could head to Wales, where the most expensive house would set them back around £1.3 million – the lowest ‘most expensive’ nation or region in the UK. Here's the full breakdown of regions:

East Midlands

Croft Road in Nottingham is the most expensive street once again (£1,620,000). Warren Lane, Leicester (£1,563,000) also retains second spot. Golf Lane in Northampton (£1,512,000) is new in third place.

East of England

In the East of England, Park Avenue North, Harpenden, is now the most expensive street (£3,587,000), followed by Newlands Avenue in Radlett (£3,415,000). Last year’s first place Woodlands Road in Cambridge (£3,294,000) is now third.

North East

Ramside Park in Durham (£1,538,000) retains the top spot in the region. Runnymede Road (£1,440,000) and Westfield Drive (£1,340,000) both in Newcastle Upon Tyne make up second and third place.

An all-new top three in the North West is made up of first and second places both in Altrincham - Barrow Lane (£2,914,000) and Broadway (£2,905,000). Fletsand Road in Wilmslow (£2,659,000) completes the top three.

East Road in Weybridge (£8,004,000) - which is also the most expensive area outside of London - retains first place in the South East. Camp End Road also in Weybridge (£6,120,000) is new in second place this year, followed by Spring Woods in Virginia Water (£5,485,000) who retains third place from last year.

Brudenell Avenue in Poole (£3,062,000) is now the priciest in the region. Charlton Park Gate in Cheltenham (£2,829,000) last year’s third place moves up to second followed by Bury Road in Poole (£2,547,000).

Wales

Wales has some of the lowest most expensive properties in the UK. Benar Headland in Pwllheli (£1,345,000) is again the most expensive street in Wales, followed by Twyncyn in Dinas Powys (£1,185,000), In the Welsh capital of Cardiff, Llandennis Avenue has the priciest property price tag (£1,135,000) and the third most expensive across the whole of Wales.

West Midlands

Solihull has some of the most expensive houses in the West Midlands, topping the list is Bakers Lane (£1,948,000) closely followed by Rising Lane (£1,880,000). Roman Road in Sutton Coldfield (£1,796,000) completes the list.

Yorkshire and The Humber

The most expensive street in the region is once again Manor House Lane, Leeds (£2,135,000), followed by Fulwith Mill Lane, Harrogate (£2,069,000), then Curly Hill, Ilkley (£1,662,000).

Amanda Bryden, Head of Mortgages, Lloyds said:

“London’s dominance in the list of priciest streets underscores the city's continued appeal and the resulting competitiveness at the very top end of the property market. However, at £21.4 million to buy a home, even those with the deepest pockets might baulk at the price.

“The cost of securing a prestigious address does vary across the country. For instance, living on the most expensive street in Wales means paying around £1.3 million, although still a significant amount.”

Toby Leek, NAEA Propertymark President, comments:

"The latest data from Lloyds highlights some incredible property prices across the UK, with London firmly retaining its status as the centre of luxury real estate. Knightsbridge showcases the enduring appeal of prime London real estate, particularly in areas renowned for their exclusivity and proximity to world-class amenities.

"The report also illustrates stark regional disparities. While a home on East Road in Weybridge, the priciest street outside London, averages over £8 million, the most expensive properties in Wales come in significantly lower, averaging around £1.3 million.

"Such figures emphasise the varied dynamics of the UK property market, where location and prestige dramatically influence valuations.

"This report is a fascinating snapshot of where the UK’s wealthiest choose to invest in real estate. As we move into 2025, these trends will likely continue to shape discussions around housing policy and urban development."
