Is it a Good Time to Buy in Prime Central London?

Updated: Aug 18, 2022

Research from LonRes and Coutts Bank shows prices in Prime Central London have fallen 14% since the 2014 peak. When combined with the devaluation in Sterling, US Dollar buyers can now achieve a 36% discount from the peak (GBP/USD $1.32 vs $1.70) and Euro purchasers a 22% discount. (GBP/EUR 1.13 vs 1.23). Adjusting for the 8% inflation over the period, the real-term discounts are 22% for a UK buyer, 26% for a Euro buyer and 44% for a USD buyer. With the Brexit negotiation process nearing an end-game in the next 6-9 months and market sentiment at a low, it is not inconceivable that now may be an opportune moment to buy in Prime Central London, particularly when one considers the consistently strong and reliable price growth of the area over many decades.
