Houses for Sale in Windsor: Berkshire Prices and Buying Notes

Windsor lies on the Thames in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. Heathrow is about 10 miles away, and trains run from Windsor & Eton Central to Slough for fast services into London Paddington, with a separate line to Waterloo from Windsor & Eton Riverside. Eton College sits across the river, Windsor Great Park offers large open space, and Legoland is a few miles away.

Buyers are commuters, families who want state and private schools, and overseas owners who want a base near Heathrow. Parts of the river-side stretch are prone to flooding, so check the Environment Agency flood map and insurance availability for any property near the Thames.

Non-UK residents pay a 2% Stamp Duty Land Tax surcharge, and a further 5% higher-rate surcharge applies when you buy an additional dwelling. On a house near the €1.4m median this is a very large sum, so ask your solicitor for a full SDLT calculation before you bid. Money-laundering checks mean you must show the source of funds.

You will also pay council tax every year. See the UK buying guide for the conveyancing sequence, and the UK mortgage page if you want finance. For the national picture, the UK property hub is the place to start.

The closest alternatives are Maidenhead and Ascot, both in Berkshire. Marlow, Weybridge, Rickmansworth and Richmond are comparable commuter-belt markets within roughly 10 to 25 miles, each with its own price bands.
