Prices in Kenilworth have recorded a moderate decline, a year-on-year change of -3.1%. Within Warwickshire, Kenilworth ranks 1st by price out of 7 principal towns, and 6th by transaction volume.

On a quarterly view, Kenilworth median prices moved from £403,750 in Q3 2024 to £385,000 in Q4 2025, a change of -4.6% over 5 quarters. The most recent quarter is excluded because HM Land Registry registrations for it are still incomplete.

Warwick District Council, the local planning authority covering Kenilworth, approved 61 residential planning applications and refused 16 in the last 12 months, with 28 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 79%.

Those applications propose around 876 homes, an estimated £345.0m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.

Warwick District Council covers more than one town in Warwickshire, so these figures are authority-wide rather than specific to Kenilworth alone.
