London Property Investment Research
London property investment is a more than worthwhile venture if you are selective with the areas you choose to invest in. Without knowledge of the right areas, you may find that your investment suffers due to low rental yields, dwindling demand, and slow property price growth in many parts of London. This is why it is so important it is to do your research when trying to find the best investment opportunities London has to offer.
The number of households renting privately in London has shot up from 20% to 30% in a single decade, creating plenty of opportunities for buy-to-let projects to thrive. Rental demand is huge, so any savvy property investor should be keeping close tabs on the London property market, along with the commuter belt that encircles the city.
Many people see buying an investment property in London as the way to future financial stability. In recent years, London has been considered a ‘safe haven’ for property investment, and this opinion doesn’t look like it is set to change any time soon. Gladfish can help you achieve this financial stability with our expert guide to London Property Investment.

Discovering Profitable Areas in London

Finding the right areas to invest in is crucial to successful property investment in London. While it is the most expensive city for property in the UK, there are some areas of London which are more affordable than others. Some examples of areas that you should consider include Ilford, Romford, Barking, Dagenham, Harlington, and Thamesmead. East London in particular is considered one of the best areas to invest.

With London property there are two main ways of making your investment successful: rental returns and capital appreciation. As would be expected from a capital city, rental demand is consistently high in London and house prices are predicted to rise. London benefits from a global demand for homes, but there remains a shortage of supply due to space constraints, increased population, planning delays and not enough developers able to fund and supply homes. Over the past decade London’s population has increased by around 800,000 whereas just 200,000 new homes have been built – and London’s population is expected to increase by more than 1m over the next decade. The consequence of this supply and demand imbalance therefore means high property price growth.
The key to getting London property investment right is finding the right areas to invest. In certain areas property prices are too high to make your investment worthwhile. However in other developing areas of London where property prices are lower, you can discover excellent buy to let investment opportunities, especially if you explore off plan investments too. Currently some of the best places to invest in London are: Ilford, Romford, Barking, Dagenham, Harlington, and Thamesmead. Check out our area research guides and speak to a member of our team for the very latest London property investment advice.
Despite the uncertainty brought by the Covid-19 pandemic, the London property market retained its status as one of the places to invest in the UK. However, it has brought about some changes that you’ll need to be aware of if you are considering London property investment. As a result of the intermittent lockdowns, more renters have started looking for properties featuring qualities such as gardens or outdoor space. This has led to less demand for city centre London property, and more demand for rental properties in more suburban London locations, such as those mentioned above.
Yes. When you purchase a property in a prime UK location such as London, you can benefit from consistent rental income each month, along with the chance to make big returns when you decide to sell the property – provided the value has increased. Buy to let investments remain a good idea for property investment in London in 2021.
Choosing the right investment property will depend on a number of factors. The most important things to consider are your available resources and your investment goals. If you’re willing to wait a while for returns on investment, you should consider investing in a developing area in London where your buy to let investment can thrive. There is no shortage of property investment opportunities in London, which includes a diverse mix of people, cultures, and backgrounds. This diversity is reflected in the properties and opportunities that are available to investors. Whether you want to invest in a buy to let family home in the suburbs or a commercial premises in the city centre, London has something for everyone.
Depending on your financial circumstances, there are a number of ways to finance your investment in London property. Some like to save up their money and pay for the property in cash. This may seem like a wise idea, except that it can tie up your cash reserves – preventing you from buying other properties or making much-needed repairs on your existing property (or properties). Another strategy is to get a mortgage, by putting 20% down, for your investment property. While it may seem counterintuitive to incur more debt, this can actually pay off better in the long-term, as rents increase your mortgage will eventually be paid off. Other investors may prefer to look for private financing to purchase their investment properties, such as through a private money lender. Though financing of this kind usually requires some kind of track history as an investor, or at least some kind of relationship with the private lender, this type of financing can be quite lucrative.
