Market Reports and updates

Delivering new homes for London remains high on the political agenda but the challenges are mounting. We explore the latest trends in applications, starts and completions of new build development over the whole of the Capital to uncover the distribution of new homes in London.

London is home to a myriad of different housing markets across its lifestyle Zones, each subject to its own pressures and influences, but the overall picture for the Capital has been one of continued market readjustment as we head towards the summer.

Ambitious housing targets in the Draft New London Plan, alongside a firm commitment to the Green Belt, mean that increasing density and
identifying small sites have become key strands of delivery. Our latest analysis identifies the opportunities for developers in London.

There is a growing sense of realism across the London market. While price readjustment characterised 2017, sense and stability are likely to be at the forefront of 2018.

Despite the growing importance of the private rented sector (PRS) in London, there has been a lack of market data and information to draw from for those organisations operating in the sector.

KFH is in a unique position to be able to offer a clear view of tenant sentiment in the Capital. We have launched our first annual London Tenant Barometer to gauge the views of London tenants on the market, their priorities when choosing property, and their expectations for the future.
