N° 03The pace

Half of Westminster is gone in 34 days.

Measured from the day we first saw a Westminster listing to the day it left the market. A quarter lasted 18 days or fewer; a quarter were still there after 54. Because we time from first sight rather than from the agent's own listing date, the real figure is a little shorter than this.

N° 04The haggle

When the price moves, it usually moves down.

Of the price changes we've recorded in Westminster, 91% were reductions. Asking rents here soften after listing more often than they firm up, which is worth remembering before you treat the number in the ad as final.

N° 05Where they cluster

Westminster rents around its stations.

The stations that come up most often as the nearest one to a Westminster listing.

N° 06How to read this

These numbers come from Roost's own pipeline: Westminster listings gathered from estate agents across London between 8 March to 19 June 2026. Snapshot taken 17 July 2026.

It's what agents are marketing, not a census. It skews toward flats and toward the agents whose sites we watch, so it describes the market you'd actually meet while searching, not every home in Westminster. Medians throughout, because a handful of prime listings pull an average upward and tell you nothing about your search.

Rents below £500 or above £15,000 a month are set aside as data errors or ultra-prime outliers. Where a figure would rest on too few listings to trust, we leave it blank rather than guess.
