LONDON PROPERTY RESEARCH
Our first research series analyses more than 10,000 London new-build flat resales between 2015 and 2026. We found that 64% lost money after inflation and stamp duty.
Why did some flats prove to be good investments while others performed so poorly?
Independent research to help buyers make better-informed London property decisions.
Why do some London flats make money while most lose it?
The financial outcomes varied considerably when these new-build flats were resold, as the following table illustrates.
Why such large differences? Our research examines the buying decisions associated with these outcomes and identifies the factors that distinguished the more profitable investments.
