Why should you invest in London property right now?

There has never been a better time to be a London landlord; the UK capital is experiencing record rental growth- 142% higher than the UK 5-year average (the highest since 1979) and a shortage of supply when it comes to quality new build homes has resulted in the supply pipeline being down 47% on 2022 levels. 

Savills has predicted a 4% growth in house prices in Putney in 2023 alone and JLL has predicted 19.3% growth across central London up until 2026. But with the currently desperately low supply of quality new builds, we wouldn’t be surprised if these estimates turned out to be conservative. 

The area’s unchanging fundamentals mean it remains one of London’s most desirable residential enclaves, hence its classification as “Prime Outer London.” 

• A wealth of good private and state schools, plentiful parks and heathland, and its broad riverside vistas endow the neighborhood with an immense sense of space, rare for a capital city. 

• The suburb’s average age of 42 tells you much about who chooses to live there; working professionals, young families, and Londoners “hankering for the countryside,” says the Evening Standard. 

• Excellent transport connections make it easy to get into Central London and beyond, with close access to the Underground and Overground network.
