 <\/p>\n

London defies definition.<\/strong> A world that adapts to the changing times, yet remains remarkably attached to its traditions<\/strong>. \u00a0From Buckingham Palace to Camden Town, and from Hyde Park to Harrods and Soho, it is a unique and inimitable amalgamation of opposites. In turn snob and punk, antiquated and avant-garde, cosmopolitan<\/strong> \u2014 with over 300 languages spoken \u2014 with a village spirit, London remains, against all odds, the<\/em> place to be.<\/p>\n

The property market: recovery in sight<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After a mixed start to the year, Q4 2021 saw the market regain strength (+2%). Demand has accelerated sharply for high-end properties<\/strong>.\u00a0The prestigious neighbourhoods are regaining in value, particularly family houses in Notting Hill and Holland Park. Hampstead Heath is currently one of the most coveted areas.\u00a0This increased demand should continue to rise along with a pickup in sales.\u00a0The average price per square metre stands at around \u00a320,000<\/strong> but varies depending on the neighbourhood: \u00a317,000 for Kensington ($17,500 in South Kensington). Prices in Chelsea exceed \u00a319,000, while in Knightsbridge they\u2019re closer to \u00a322,000 and in Mayfair they spike at \u00a323,000.<\/p>\n

Our advice: Act now!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cDon't hang about, if the end to last year is anything to go by, now\u2019s the time to take advantage of prices before the international client\u00e8le return and competition heats up\u201d, recommends BARNES property expert Andrew Everill.<\/p>\n
