In the second financial quarter, the London property landscape marks a pivotal movement – boosted by an investor-favourable combination of buying conditions and rising housing availability. Thanks to the brief post-tax deadline cooldown earlier this year, the market has gained traction, supported by factors such as strong inventory levels, realistic pricing and renewed investor interest.<\/p>\n

Positive pricing & buyer sentiments<\/h2>\n

\"Rising<\/p>\n

After a slight slowdown post-SDLT deadline in Q1, the UK property market has bounced back this Spring with solid momentum. As per recent Rightmove data, the average property prices in the UK rose 1.2%* year-on-year in May \u2014 London homes recorded an average price point of \u00a3701,990* \u2014 an increase of 0.7% over the same period last year.<\/p>\n

These numbers point towards rising confidence amongst buyers and further indicate that the London property market<\/a> is entering a new phase \u2014 one led by high supply and sensible pricing. It\u2019s favourable environment for discerning overseas and domestic buyers \u2014 with more than 35 homes per estate agent on average and new listings up 14%. <\/p>\n

Mortgage affordability<\/h2>\n

The Bank of England\u2019s recent decision to cut its base rate to 4.25%, the lowest in two years further fuels investor interest. Fixed rate mortgages touched below 4%, with affordability on the rise again \u2014 especially amongst savvy Hong Kong buyers using mortgage leverage.<\/p>\n

Robust rental yields <\/h2>\n

\"Rental<\/p>\n

London\u2019s rental property<\/a> sector is a strong economic pillar \u2014 rents in the capital grew by 8.4%* annually and Barnet and Bromley boroughs recorded double-digit increases. There is a clear imbalance between rental demand and supply \u2014 12 tenants per available unit \u2014 ensuring rental yields remain competitive.<\/p>\n

Stability in high-value assets<\/h2>\n

High-value properties<\/a> gain solid ground in prime London areas, making them key ones for buyers eyeing long-term stability. Nearly half of the listings in areas like Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Marylebone exceed \u00a31 million*.<\/p>\n
