As we head into 2020, London looks set to remain a great place to own a holiday home with or without the EU. Two London properties featured here, most notably, Tottenham Court Road West, happens to be one of the chicest developments to dot the city. London has long been Europe’s most sought after international property market. Foreign buyers have flocked to the UK’s capital for years. Even during times of changing legislation, a fluctuating Pound, and Brexit, buyers haven’t been as drastically put off as one might have thought. If anything, the last several months have seen developers and agencies selling London property overseas doing especially well. This can be owed to many things including civil unrest in Hong Kong and favourable exchange rates, but it just goes to show you how London still attracts buyers. Recent information released by LonRes showed that there has been an upswing in London’s most expensive neighbourhoods over the third quarter. Areas which throughout the last couple of years, had been in the weaker end of the market. This includes neighbourhoods such as Belgravia, Knightsbridge, and Mayfair.

While we wait for Brexit to actually take place, another area that will affect the capital’s property market is a stamp duty cut. London makes up 38 per cent of the stamp duty revenue in the UK. The current prime minister has hinted at removing stamp duty on properties valued over GBP 500,000, however, this has yet to occur. If it does, it will have a major impact on London where a substantial number of properties are valued far higher than this.

Headline transaction levels across the country remain relatively resilient – political uncertainty has been offset by ultra-low mortgage rates and a robust employment market. Any political clarity could trigger additional activity in the market – Gráinne Gilmore, Head of UK Residential Research, Knight Frank, UK.

Tottenham Court Road West residences

If you are looking to holiday in London and have always longed for a permanent residence there, then there has never been a better time to shop the market. Provided you have a relatively substantial budget, there is no shortage of properties offering something for everyone throughout the city. Here are a few examples of what’s currently on the market.

London has some dark expectations to tackle: The Euro crisis, rollercoaster financial markets and the rise of populist politics. In addition, a digital revolution has transformed London’s economy with tech disruption changing everything from how we hail a taxi to how we occupy offices. A key feature of the last decade has been an unsettling change. It is, however, change that has paid dividends for those agile enough to adapt. London has proved particularly adept at transforming itself to meet the demands of the new era. The city is so adaptable and examines the next wave of changes to come. What is certain is that the next ten years of change will create new opportunities in the London real estate market – William Beardmore-Gray, Head of London Offices, Knight Frank, UK.
