The Central London residential market remains extremely strong as demand for housing consistently outweighs supply. Following the recession, and subsequent housing downturn, the Central London market was the first to recover, with strong performance evident from 2010 onwards. House prices have risen by 88% since their nadir in 2009 and are now 60% above their pre-recession peak. In the year to November 2014, prices have grown of 13%. THE The growth across Central London in the years following the collapse of Lehman Brothers has been driven by a number of factors, including a weaker pound, a ‘safe-haven’ effect and structural undersupply. In the years immediately following the crash, the weaker £GBP made the purchase of prime London property by foreign buyers significantly cheaper, thus encouraging many investors to flock to London. RESIDENTIAL MARKET Despite recent strengthening of the £GBP, London house prices continue to trade at a discount in many foreign currencies including the Chinese RMB.

Rental growth across prime Central London, continues to be driven by smaller units, typically one and two bedroom flats. One of the primary reasons for this has been the distribution of employment growth, with the Professional, Scientific & Technical and Information & Communication sectors leading the way. These sectors tend to have smaller relocation budgets, when compared with Banking & Finance sector, explaining the strength of demand and price growth for smaller units.

Rental demand is also boosted by professionals who are finding themselves unable to purchase in their SOUTHBANK MARKET preferred locations, due to highly competitive sales market, and are therefore driven to continue renting.

Looking forward, the strengthening London economy and continued employment growth among sectors The Southbank residential market has outperformed other Prime Central London markets in recent years such as professional and technology, will underpin demand for prime rental property across London. and 2014 was no different, with capital value growth of 27% over the 12 months to November 2014, compared with 13% for wider Prime Central London.

Capital appreciation has been driven by the wider regeneration of the area and the unparalleled mix of amenity, riverside location and connectivity. Over recent years, the area has undergone major CENTRAL LONDON VS. GREATER LONDON regeneration, which has dramatically improved the level of amenity in the area, as well as providing enhanced connectivity, through the addition of an entrance to Blackfriars Train Station on the south What £1 million spent in January 2009 would be worth today bank. Riverside schemes such as the nearby, Southbank Tower and One Blackfriars have been achieving blended average sales rates in excess of £2,500 psf.

In terms of rental market, one of the areas strengthens over many other locations in London, is its diverse tenant base. Due to the excellent transport connection to all major business districts in London, the Southbank has become a highly desirable residential destination.

Capital value growth in the area provides a strong basis to invest; however, the investment case strengthens when considering rental returns. Average gross yields in Southbank are circa 3.5% which compares favourably to other parts of Central London where they are sub 3%. This combination of exceptional capital growth and good rental returns has driven strong total returns in the South Bank market for residential investors.
