Kensal Town market report W10 4, London
The W10 4 (Kensal Town) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. The raw material for this page is 2,593 HM Land Registry entries for W10 4 (London), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 22 registered 2026 sales put the W10 4 (London) median at £845,000, up 25% on five years earlier, with a mean of £787,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £9,320 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 2,593 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
A postcode sector like W10 4 is a single group of streets within W10 (London), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

What W10 4 homes really sell for
Across 22 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) W10 4 home went for £845,000. The mean is £787,000, beneath it, usually the sign of a batch of very cheap recorded transfers pulling the average lower.
What a square metre costs in W10 4
Measured by floor area, the last five years of W10 4 sales average about £9,320 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, W10 4 runs 196% above it.

In cash terms the typical W10 4 home went from £79,000 in 1995 to £845,000 in 2026, roughly 11 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 392%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the W10 4 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2014 (+41.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−19.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What W10 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +12.7% | +10.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.6% | −0.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +5.1% | +2.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 22 sales completed in W10 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 111 sales a year before the financial crisis and 56 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around W10 4
The local authority for W10 4 is Westminster, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £3,163 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £2,517 a month for a typical one-bed to £5,378 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Westminster
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£3,163 a month is £37,956 a year, which against the £845,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.5%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
Reading the W10 4 market
Only 22 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes W10 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the W10 district median, W10 4 sits 20% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

What you could buy in W10 now
Turning to what is actually available: 24 homes on the market right now, from 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole W10 district, not just W10 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 29% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in W
What homes of each size actually sold for across the W area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | — | £1,185,000 | £1,648,050 (+39%) | £2,400,000 (+46%) |
| Semi-detached | — | £650,000 | £850,000 (+31%) | £1,175,000 (+38%) | £1,681,250 (+43%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
