That’s because there’s more interest in the city, than anywhere else in the country. Market demand is huge in London, one of the world’s most established and lucrative financial markets, it houses almost 15 million midst its metropolitan area with many overseas nationals also owning properties in the city.
Why is it so attractive? A city with everything, that employs over 5 million people, which offers world class global cuisine and amazing nightlife, fabulous shopping, arts and culture, with some of the world’s best museums, landmarks, theatre productions, sporting events and some of the planets best known artists, stars, musicians, performers, often attracting many visitors and tourists to the famous city built on the River Thames almost 2,000 years ago.
London is a fantastic city known worldwide and because of its popularity, has a high price to pay when it comes to property. The average price of a London property is over £650,000 with many centrally fetching well over £1,000,000.
Rents are also sky high with an average rental rate over £2,000pcm. This attracts the rich and wealthy to purchase property at the higher end, and generate income through the short term and long term let markets which are both very lucrative indeed.
