Rents rise for the first time in prime London since start of the pandemic
Rents across all prime London regions saw a return to positive growth in the second quarter of the year, as both UK and international tenants planned their return to the capital, fresh analysis from Savills shows.
This is the first time rents have increase in prime London since the start of the pandemic.
Strong rental growth continued across London’s commuter belt where demand from relocating families for three and four bedroom homes in regional towns and cities massively exceeded supply as ‘accidental tenants’ compete with try before you buy renters.
In the country markets, the study shows that connectivity has unsurprisingly become more important for those moving out of London while some wealthy tenants are opting to take a country house style residence in the London suburbs.

Holland Park
2019 has arrived after a beautiful and festive December full of celebrations. One month into the new year and we are wondering what’s happening within the property market. In this year’s first quarterly Newsletter from your trusted local Estate Agent Sandersons London, we are sharing some of the newest updates of the property market.
Sales
January 2019 arrived with an encouraging start for the housing market with some of Londons’ priciest properties selling faster than expected. Holland Park and Notting Hill contains of the most famous and sought-after roads in London and recent applicant interest is good news for all local homeowners.Luxury homes worth £10 million and more are selling on average within 6 months and achieving offers far closer to the asking price than has been the case since 2016. This is a massive change, since these properties were taking up to 18 months by the end of 2017. Reductions of the original price on these significant properties are as low as 10%, which is also better than in the past three years. Significantly, as a postcode W11 performed extremely well in 2018 compared to other prime London areas with prices remaining broadly static (Land Registry figures suggest an average price change of -0.9%).Following the impact of Brexit and political instability on the Continent we are seeing not only British but a welcome return from foreign buyers seeking to take advantage of the perceived stable investment offered by a luxury London home. We anticipate this trend continuing throughout 2019.
Lettings
In contrast to the sales market, the prices of renting in the big city have been increasing. The average renting cost in London has hit £2,034 at the end of 2018, which is 5,3% more than 2017 according to the latest research from Rightmove.
The research also predicts another increase of around 4% in 2019, supply fails to keep pace with demand.
But if we look at the bright side, the prices are almost 3% lower than the projected rate of growth since Brexit was announced, leaving tenants with more money at the end of the month.
As Holland Park and Notting Hill remain to be within the most beautiful, fashionable and safest areas in London, the future of rentals continues to look bright. Large Victorian family villas and charming multi-coloured houses, give us the security of high demand and continues population.

Why Sandersons Loves Notting Hill
No, it isn’t
just because of a certain famous rom-com that shares the same name (that is
often played on repeat on a TV channel that shall remain unnamed, but we still
watch it anyway), nor because of a famous British comedy series (that also remains
nameless but let me tell you it is still fabulous dahling), first aired in 1992,
set in our beloved neighborhood.
Notting Hill is a dream for foodies, especially if you love anything with avocado, and a coffee drinkers haven. “Breakfast Culture” still a relatively new concept in Britain, thrives in this area, with clean-living on the up and alcohol consumption on the decline. An area increasing in popularity with families who can rent or buy in an area with stunning stucco architecture and many communal gardens and great schools.
With easy access via public transport from four different tube lines and buses, the bright and quirky Portobello Road, The Electric Cinema, The Gate Theatre, the multitude of shopping opportunities not to mention the bars and restaurants offering cuisine from around the world and some truly fabulous cocktails – (one of my favorite bars in London is The Portobello Star), Notting Hill has really made its comeback as one of the most popular places to live in London.

My wife and I have had an excellent experience with Lewis at Sandersons; both selling our home and using their search facility to find a new property.
Our house in Holland Park had been marketed with another, larger agency for 12 weeks without making much progress. After some thought we decided that appointing a local agent might work in our favour as, one assumed, their buyers would be focused specifically on our area and they would be familiar with all the local amenities, etc.
Within 2 weeks we had received two offers; one which was a touch lower than we had hoped to achieve and another that was significantly more. We were delighted with the buyers (a local family looking for a larger, family house) and the legal work was looked after very satisfactorily.
Upon exchange of contracts we spoke again with Sandersons to make use of their property finder service. We had a very specific remit for the search due to a medical condition and wanted to make sure that we weren’t going to be shown inappropriate properties by masses of estate agents.
Again, using their “little black book” of local contacts, Lewis was able to find us a super garden flat over one level in Holland Park that suits our purposes beautifully. Initial preview viewings were carried out on our behalf, the various pros and cons of the shortlisted properties were discussed with us at length and, upon making a decision, negotiations were dealt with efficiently. I am confident that we would not have found our new home or secured it for the price we did had we not spoken with Sandersons; I cannot recommend them enough.
