London dominates the overall list, of course, but where are the priciest streets in your region?

The UK’s most expensive street is Tite Street in the London Borough of Chelsea and Kensington, said Halifax.

It has an eye-watering average house price of £28.9million.

Not surpisingly, the UK’s top 10 most expensive streets are all in London, with an average price tag of more than £19 million.

In second place is Phillimore Gardens, with average house prices on the prestigious street near Kensington and Holland Park at £25,188,000.

In third place is South Audley Street in Mayfair, where the avergage home will set buyers back £22,850,000.

Esther Dijkstra, mortgage director at Lloyds Bank, said: “London’s dominance of the top ten most expensive streets in the UK continues, with property prices on some of the most famous roads in the capital averaging £19 million. Homes in the South East’s most expensive streets will set you back around £5.5 million, and you’ll benefit from more rural locations all within commuting distance of the capital.

“However, much like house prices overall, homes in London have not experienced the same meteoric rise as other regions this year. Buyers with deeper pockets may be starting to look beyond the capital for their next grand home.”
