With sky-high prices and lower-than-average rental yields, property investment in London isn’t accessible for everyone. Yet, the city still sees its fair share of investment, particularly from foreign sources. In fact, a report from Statista in 2018 found that London featured 458 foreign investment projects – 12 times higher than Manchester in second place. The main reason behind the continued real estate investment in London is the sky-high rental income generated from property. According to Zoopla, in October 2021, the average rent in the London region was around £3,431 per month. For comparison, this is 223% higher than the UK national average, which is incidentally the highest it has ever been at £1,061 PCM, according to HomeLet.
As the UK capital, London attracts the bulk of UK inward investment, which has led to some considerable regeneration in the city. Ever since the 2012 Olympics hosted in London, there has been a series of transformative projects helping the capital continue to flex its economic muscles on the world stage. Crossrail, in particular, is likely the most significant project as it will improve tenant demand in areas across the South of England. This includes commuter towns like Slough, which has seen house prices increase by over 60% in areas near new Crossrail links.
