Guaranteed Rental Schemes Miles Shipside, director and housing market analyst at Rightmove comments: “London buyers searching for this month’s fresh to market stock will face the most expensive average asking prices ever seen in the capital. Guaranteed Rental Schemes It will perhaps come as little comfort that this is the most conservative monthly increase recorded in the month of February since 2009.” Compared to a year ago, property coming to the market is 8.4% (£37,638) more expensive. Guaranteed Rental Schemes There are signs that the pace of rises is slowing down however, with the current average asking price just 0.7% (£3,181) higher than it was three months ago. The new record in London is £486,890, surpassing the previous high of £483,709 set in November 2012. Shipside observes: “While London has been the outperform market of the UK and the first to recover from the credit-crunch, there is a barrier to what people can afford to pay and, indeed, are prepared to pay. It remains to be seen whether sellers can achieve their record new price aspirations, which will require buyers to find the extra money and justify to themselves the higher prices being asked.” While the boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea (+1.7%), Westminster (+3.5%) and Hammersmith and Fulham (+4.5%) continue to hold ‘international appeal’ and outperform the norm, this month also sees the low to mid-range priced boroughs of Islington (+4.6%), Merton (+4.4%), Hackney (+3.7%) and Croydon (+3.7%) in the top five risers. Shipside adds: “With sellers having a real upper-hand in pricing power in the higher priced and most sought after locations, some buyer demand will ebb away from the most fashionable hotspots and flow into other boroughs. Buyers in the capital have a great track record of looking elsewhere to seek out new areas offering greater value and potential.” View the original article here 3Let work hard to deliver the best property management service.
