Notting Hill recorded an 8.4 per cent rise in average sale prices over the six months to June 2026, outpacing Holland Park by 3.1 percentage points and Bayswater by 4.7 points according to Land Registry data released this week.

The gains come as buyers priced out of central London postcodes shift west in search of stock that still offers transport links and green space, a pattern that accelerated after the spring interest rate cut to 3.75 per cent.

Street-level activity

On Ladbroke Grove, three Victorian terraces sold above asking in May, while a former bakery unit on All Saints Road secured planning consent last month for conversion into four flats under the council’s small-sites programme. The Notting Hill Housing Trust completed 22 shared-ownership units on St Mark’s Road in April, drawing first-time buyers who had previously looked at Acton and Shepherd’s Bush.

Local agents report viewings at the Electric Cinema on Portobello Road increased 19 per cent year-on-year, with many visitors extending their trips to inspect nearby listings.

Price evidence and next steps

The average price per square foot in Notting Hill reached £1,285 in June 2026, up from £1,185 in December 2025, while comparable figures for Holland Park slipped to £1,410 from £1,430 over the same period. A two-bedroom flat on Westbourne Park Road exchanged at £925,000 in late June, 12 per cent above its March valuation.

Buyers should check the latest Rightmove alerts for properties under £1 million and contact the Kensington and Chelsea planning portal for upcoming small-sites applications before the next round of completions in September.
