The top 10 most expensive streets in England were, unsurprisingly, all in London.

Tite Street in SW3 claimed the top spot where it costs an average of an eye-watering £28.092m to buy a property.

Esther Dijkstra, mortgage director at Lloyds Bank, who own Halifax, 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 £19m.

"Homes in the South East’s most expensive streets will set you back around £5.5m, 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.”
