I agree with the recommendation for investing in property. If you do decide to buy property, we recommend you think about holding this asset in the long-term. You need to allow the asset to mature to really reap substantial yield from it. With London, given the state of the property market, an...

Based on our research from Halifax and Rightmove, the next 5 years has these figures for London property prices: 2016: 5% 2017: 4.5% 2018: 4.5% 2019: 4% 2020: 3% Of course, things can still change especially if we factor in Stamp Duty and interest rates which are currently at record low...

The dust will settle The market always adapts. Yes, I completely agree. It's what the market is designed to do. At the end of all this, investors still know what they want to get out of their portfolios and given how transparent the UK property market is, they know what they're doing. Great...

Do you have a specific question you'd like to get insights to with regards to your investments? Might we also know the locations of your portfolio since yield and capital growth will also depend on where your properties are. We recently released a case study on one of our investors on our blog...

COMMUTER ACCESS One of Wimbledon’s most crucial feature as a London property investment hotspot is its great access to Central London with overland, tube and tram links. Fast trains from Wimbledon into London Waterloo take only 20 minutes and to London Blackfriars in 30 minutes. The tram...

The next 5 years still look positive Based on data from Savills, 2015 might not be the best year for London property but it doesn't mean that the following years will stay as such. In fact, 2016 for Prime London, Inner Commuter area as well as the other commuter area are forecasted to see house...

There is a slowdown but the demand is still high. Unless the rate of demand and supply is reversed, we believe we can still expect plenty of positive growth for UK property.

We might expect a more "subdued" property market in London until the May elections. This is how I see it for now. The uncertainty factor plays hugely among property investors, after all. There are reports of a slowed growth but undeniably still one of the best performing markets among developed...

I've been getting lots of news of the market still rising in terms of growth. Anyone have their two cents on this or maybe it's a way to pacify a cooling market? I personally believe that the market will remain viable. Supply is low and demand is high. That looks like a positive scenario for...

Completely agree with everyone on their stand on choosing tenants for your buy-to-let. First time landlords may find it tempting to jump on the first applicant that comes knocking but as an investment and a business, screening and filtering who stays in your property is crucial. Unless the...

Also, I can't stress it enough that recent announcements from the Prime Minister indicates a problem with the supply of residential property (still). As long as there is an imbalance in the supply and demand of residential property, London will remain a viable location for property investors and...

Definitely a result of the new Stamp Duty and Property Tax. Also, the coming elections. We'll most likely get a clearer picture about where London property stands when the dust settles post-election. What do you think?

I think the two can work with two varying SDLT laws. They both have different market dynamic. UK is currently being led by London with Birmingham closely on its tail especially this year. Scotland is also a different field so it can work.

The housing market saw a spring and summer sales surge particularly in the capital and the South of England before activity dropped away a little towards the end of the year. With the announcement of Stamp Duty Land Tax and the discussion of Property Tax home buyers and property investors...

Hear, hear! Thanks for chiming in.

Hello, Let's share news, trends, property developments and key insights about London property, shall we? Cheers.

SDLT and Foreign Investors Yes. Perhaps there will be some correlation with the volume of investors in London property but I believe luxury apartments and developments will not be as badly hit because of they still see UK as a safe investment environment. Appreciate your insight, mate.

The common agreement is that apartments and houses below £937,000 will cost less because of the reduced rate compared to the old policy. How do you see the state of the London property market from the perspective of an investor in such a case? Would love to get feedback from anyone who's...

Crossrail 2 and the London Property Market I believe there will always be secondary conditions. But in it's essence, investing on London property near Crossrail route outweighs the usual risks when buying especially with news of a bubble and a cooling market. Any opinion on the recent...

Quite useful for London property investment seekers. Will this also apply to overseas investors? Will they be allowed to make inquiries?
