Living in London

London is a city of villages, each with its own character and community. From the leafy streets of Hampstead to the creative energy of Hackney, there's a neighbourhood for every lifestyle. Property prices vary enormously — you could pay £400k for a flat in Zone 3 or £4m for a townhouse in Chelsea. Understanding these micro-markets is essential to finding the right home at the right price.

Price trend (5 years)

London's property market has stabilised after two years of volatility. Prices are rising modestly, with strongest growth in outer zones where first-time buyers are finding relative value. Central London remains flat as international buyers wait on the sidelines. The shortage of family homes continues to drive competition in popular school catchment areas.
