West Kensington property market: common questions

Where is West Kensington?

West Kensington sits in west London, mostly in Hammersmith and Fulham, about 4 miles from the centre. Figures for West Kensington cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.

What is the average house price in West Kensington?

The median asking price across the 732 homes for sale in West Kensington is £882,000 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £595,000 and £1,528,750. That is 53% above London. Homes that actually sold in West Kensington went for a median £650,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Are house prices in West Kensington rising or falling?

Falling. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in West Kensington is down 13% over the last 10 years and down 7% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

Is West Kensington cheaper than London?

No: asking prices in West Kensington are typically higher than across London. The median asking price in West Kensington is £882,000 against £575k across London: 53% above London. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The premium holds from the lower end to the top of the market.

How many homes are for sale in West Kensington?

How much do flats and houses cost in West Kensington?

Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £2,250,000 across 47 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (732 in West Kensington), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for West Kensington cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
  • Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked West Kensington since August 2025.
  • London comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of London, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
  • Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
