Are you a homeowner in Paddington or Kensington wondering whether now is the right time to sell? With the Central London property market constantly evolving, understanding your local area's dynamics is key to making a confident, informed decision.
Market Snapshot: August 2025
The Prime Central London market—particularly in areas like Paddington and Kensington—has seen a measured return to stability after a volatile few years. While interest rates have levelled out and buyer confidence is improving, stock levels remain tight in desirable postcodes, putting sellers in a strong position.
Key Trends Driving Sales:
• Increased buyer demand from international and UK-based professionals relocating to London.
• Continued appetite for luxury apartments and townhouses near Hyde Park, Merchant Square, and High Street Kensington.
• Homeowners seeking to capitalise on strong property values before any further regulatory or economic shifts.
Why Selling Now Could Work in Your Favour
If you own a home in W2 or W8, there are several reasons why now might be the ideal time to put your property on the market:
✅ Limited Competition
With fewer properties available in Paddington Basin and Kensington, sellers have a greater chance of standing out and attracting serious buyers quickly.
✅ Strong Buyer Demand
We’re seeing steady enquiries from both domestic and overseas buyers looking for homes in well-connected areas like Paddington, especially with Elizabeth Line access, and the timeless appeal of Kensington’s period architecture.
✅ Premium Price Potential
Properties with good natural light, outdoor space or well-maintained communal areas—especially in Merchant Square or near Kensington Gardens—are commanding competitive offers.
