Where does this Kensington and Chelsea data come from?

Property Deals Insight maintains a database of around 34 million UK properties. These area figures aggregate advertised sale and rental listings for the Kensington and Chelsea local authority district.

What these numbers include

  • These are advertised asking prices and advertised rents, aggregated from property listings — not achieved sale prices.
  • Gross yield excludes voids, management, maintenance, ground rent and finance, so a real net yield will be materially lower.
  • Medians are taken across residential property-type categories. Per-room lettings and non-residential premises are excluded and shown separately.
  • Kensington and Chelsea is a UK local authority district, not a town or postcode area.
  • Related areas are matched on median asking price, not geography.
  • Observation window: sale listings first advertised in the 180 days to 13 September 2026, and rental listings in the 90 days to 13 September 2026. A listing is counted from when it was first advertised, so these are not necessarily still on the market.
  • Gross yield combines two different windows — a 90-day rent sample over a 180-day sale sample — so it is not a like-for-like snapshot of a single moment.
