During what was a muted pandemic period, London trailed behind the rest of the country in regards to domestic market activity. There was a big drop in purchases and tenancies. It was foreign buyer ownership and demand that actually kept London’s property market going. This is according to research by Benham and Reeves.

Analysing the market

Block management CamdenThe most recent analysis examines data coming from the Land Registry, looking at overseas purchasers of London buildings. It also took in changes in the level of foreign home ownership. Furthermore, the research examined the complete estimated market value of foreign property purchases in the city.

This research reveals that there was a 4% annual increase in the amount of registrations of London houses by overseas buyers. The total in 2021 was 85,451, an increase over the 81,872 in 2020.

The next thing Benham and Reeves did was apply the property market values over the timeframes. They did so to pinpoint the complete worth of the houses. This estimates that their complete worth was roughly £59.3billion in 2021. The figure here is a 6% increase on the first pandemic year of 2020.

Where are the most foreign-owned properties?
