About these figures

Westminster's figures come from 3,782 standard sales, each placed in the council area by its own postcode. The 24 districts listed are those with most of their postcodes in Westminster, so their sales add up to 3,583 instead (how we build council pages).

Updated 15 October 2026 with sales recorded to August 2026. Next update due in late November 2026.
