For some people, buying a house in the right postcode is more important than the house itself – we’re talking about coveted, prestigious neighbourhoods, where your next-door neighbour might be a footballer, an actor or just a very rich banker. So where exactly are these highly sought after streets? And how much would it cost to buy a property on them?
Using data from Rightmove, the Sunday Times has revealed the most expensive streets to buy property in Britain in 2025. To be included on the list, the street must have at least five properties advertised for sale right now. This discounts neighbourhoods that are inactive in the property market or may not have many residential properties.
These are the kind of postcodes that a Buying London agent would only dream of snapping up for their portfolios – we’re talking London’s Hampstead, Chesire’s Alderly Edge and Poole’s Sandbanks.
Predictably, the UK’s most expensive street is in London. In fact, sorted by price alone, 18 of the UK’s 20 most expensive streets were in the capital – you can read more about that here. But the Times also broke down the data by region, revealing the most spenny street in each part of the UK. Here’s what they are.
