In short: Chelsea values vary widely from street to street. The biggest factors are location (garden squares and quiet streets near the King's Road command premiums), type and size (houses and lateral apartments), outdoor space, condition, parking and, for flats, lease length and service charges. Online averages hide these differences, so look at sold prices for comparable homes on the same or similar streets, and get a professional valuation. Fraser Bond values, sells and lets homes in Chelsea.
