The latest census figures for the capital show a 900,000 increase in population from 2005 to 2013 with only 175,000 new homes built. Continue reading

Development land is in such high demand in London that countless renovation and regeneration projects are underway to transform old buildings into new homes and retail space. One of the most astonishing stories at the moment regards the Alchemist pub in Battersea. The property was originally constructed in the Victorian times and had served the local community in south London for over 100 years. It became derelict in 2013 and was chosen as a potential development opportunity. Continue reading

There is a limited number of investment properties available, but this area is always worth exploring by those looking to start or expand their property portfolio. Continue reading

Prime areas such as Chelsea, Fulham, Hammersmith and Camden now possess a relatively low correlation with the rest of the country, offering attractive opportunities for investors and developers.
