The Kensington & Chelsea figures below come from the ONS private rental market series for April 2025 to March 2026, so they describe rents actually being paid rather than asking prices left on portals. For context, the median registered sale in Kensington over the same period was £1.49m across 377 transactions — the number a landlord needs alongside the rent to work out what the yield really is. We let and manage across Kensington ourselves, so if you are searching we will tell you honestly whether a property is worth the trip, and if you are letting one we will tell you what it will actually achieve.
