Invest in London
The oldest property investment market in the UK.
London is one of the most densely populated cities in the UK, with over 8 million people calling the city home, a figure that has grown by over a staggering 620,000 people in the last decade alone.
Whilst more affordable regional cities around the UK are becoming more popular with investors on a national and international stage, London still offers investment opportunities for bigger budgets strong investment returns. With property prices expected to rise a further 21% by 2026, and rental growth expected to grow by 14% in the same period, for investors who can afford to invest in London, it is a very lucrative opportunity.
The city at the heart of the UK economy, with a value of over £500 billion.
With the growth of major modern industries in the city, it is predicted that an additional 800,000 jobs will be created in the capital by 2030 to meet the service demands of the jobs market.
While the London property market may have taken a temporary hit in recent years post-pandemic, the size of the population and the huge undersupply of property in the city will always fuel a buoyant investment market. The city centre market is leading the way in terms of market growth, with projected growth of over 20% by 2026.
In real terms, rents in London are also the highest in the UK, with the average rent in the city reaching over £2,250. The inner city regions are even higher, with rents over £2,600 per month. Even for residential property investors buying with a mortgage, the possible returns are still very attractive.
Long-term demand and huge undersupply.
The London property market is one of the longest-established and most robust in the world.
With over 8 million people living and working in the city, there is a constant stream of demand from the UK's ever-growing rental market. What's more, the city's population is growing year-on-year, and London will always be an attractive opportunity for investors looking for long-term returns and capital appreciation, as well as those after off-market property investment.
Fuelling the growing population of workers in London are the city's world-class universities, attracting the best and brightest talent on a global scale. UCL, Imperial College and King College are ranked among some of the top higher education institutions world-wide. With University accommodation in short-supply, or only available to first year students, there is additional demand from those studying across the city.
