Spring/Summer 2013 Welcome to the Spring/Summer Edition of Local View 2013

In the following pages, we provide an insight into the unique property market and showcase a selection of the most impressive London properties currently for sale and to rent with Knight Frank.

The prime London property market continues to outperform, despite continued economic uncertainty. The clarity provided by December’s draft finance bill around the taxing of £2m+ properties owned through companies, resulted in a surge in activity in the early part of the year after months of uncertainty in the wake of the March 2012 budget.

Activity levels are robust across all price bands in the market, and prices are still increasing, with levels already more than 20% higher than the previous peak in prices back in March 2008.

However, it is interesting to note that growth at different price levels is moving at slightly different speeds. Since stamp duty for £2m+ purchases was raised from 5% to 7% in March last year, prices for properties under this threshold are advancing more quickly than those above the threshold. The exception is for properties worth £5m+, where prices are also climbing more steadily.

London retains its reputation as a leading global hub and international demand remains a key factor driving price growth. Overseas buyers continue to view London property as a safe haven to invest in.

Over the past 12 months, Knight Frank has expanded its global network, both in London and overseas, attracting more buyers and tenants from around the world. Our relationships with our overseas offices have never been stronger. Not only do all offices share a central database, but we have established teams looking after Russian, South Asian and Chinese buyers. We have also developed associations with leading real estate agents across Europe and America.

Our acquisition of additional premises in Lower Belgrave Street means that we are the only national agent with dedicated sales and lettings offices in Belgravia. All our offices are supported by our continued investment in technology, allowing people to view Knight Frank properties from wherever they are in the world in one of 16 languages, including Russian and Mandarin. Moreover, our global website receives over one million web visits a month, giving our clients’ properties maximum exposure.

I trust you will enjoy reading the articles contained within this edition of Local View and leafing through the many pages of wonderful properties that our clients have asked us to find buyers or tenants for.

If you see any properties that interest you, or if you would like advice on any property matter then please do not hesitate to get in touch with any one of our offices.
