Kensington Olympia market report W14 0, London
The W14 0 (Kensington Olympia) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 6,973 sales registered with HM Land Registry in W14 0 (London) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: the 2026 median for W14 0 (London) is £552,500, from 30 registered sales, down 19% on five years earlier; the mean is £730,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £10,360 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 6,973 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
W14 0 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside W14 (London). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

The W14 0 median stands at £552,500 for 2026, built from 30 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £730,900, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
Price per square metre in W14 0
Per square metre, W14 0 homes have averaged around £10,360 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.

In cash terms the typical W14 0 home went from £95,000 in 1995 to £552,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 168%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2019, and today's median remains roughly 52% under it: a 2019 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the W14 0 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 2000 (+28.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−16.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What W14 0 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −14.3% | −16.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −4.1% | −8.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −2.5% | −5.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 30 sales completed in W14 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 314 sales a year before the financial crisis and 113 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around W14 0
W14 0 falls under Hammersmith and Fulham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £2,770 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,959 a month here against £4,110 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Hammersmith and Fulham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £552,500 median sold price, £2,770 a month is £33,240 a year, a gross yield of 6.0%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
Reading the W14 0 market
Only 30 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes W14 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is down 19% over five years in cash but down 36% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Moving up a bedroom in W: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the W area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| 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%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
