Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on SW7: steady sales, so price from the evidence
At around 19 sales a month, SW7 ticks along steadily, a pace that gives buyers and sellers something to compare, without a year-on-year figure we would stand behind.
If you are thinking of selling, a spread from £528,500 to £4,622,330 makes £1,395,000 a poor guide to any one home, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; most homes here sell leasehold, so have the lease length, ground rent and service charge paperwork ready before you list.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, on price, SW7 is well above the UK average, so compare any asking price with sold homes of the same type before you commit.
Before an offer goes in on any SW7 home, look at the lease (length, ground rent and service charge), what has been applied for nearby (10,264 applications on record within 500 m) and long-term flood risk, and leave the title to your conveyancer.
With averages this broad, the free SW7 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning and council tax from the official sources.

In plain English
What the Kensington and Chelsea (SW7) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: terraced homes sold for a typical £2,975,000 against £1,115,000 for flats: about 2.7 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £528,500 and £4,622,330, so the median says little about any one home.
- 79% of these sales were leasehold, which marks a flat-heavy market. Buyers here weigh remaining lease length, ground rent and service charges as much as the price.
- This is an active district: about 19 recorded sales a month.

A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so SW7 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in SW7: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row.

What it costs to run a home in SW7, band by band
Kensington and Chelsea's council tax for 2026-27 set against the SW7 median sold price of £1,395,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the SW7 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
