“First-time buyers in our market are… - Knight Frank

Welcome
Welcome to the 2011 edition of our London Local
View featuring properties from south west
London as well as the Home Counties.
Richmond, Wimbledon, Wandsworth, Clapham and Fulham
mix London life with a sense of village community. Beautiful
Victorian and Edwardian terraces, spacious period properties
and plenty of green spaces from Richmond Park to the
commons in Wimbledon and Wandsworth make this area a
desirable place for families looking for more space while being
just a short journey away from the heart of the capital.
The area boasts historic theatres, unique boutiques, awardwinning
restaurants and good schools – making this area a
must for young families looking to settle down.
We’ve seen London’s housing market get off to a positive start
this year – in the four months to the end of February prices
rose by 4%. And rents are also likely to rise, we predict growth
of up to 10% this year. Much of this is driven by demand from
international buyers and tenants – Knight Frank sold prime
London property to 61 different nationalities in the past year.
With 209 offices in 47 countries our London teams are part
of a global network that can bring buyers and tenants from
around the world to your door. Our global residential search
receives over 600,000 hits per month and can be accessed on
the move through our app for iPhone, which allows you to view
properties anywhere, any time.
This year Knight Frank has grown its network of London
offices to 18, nine of which are located in central London. Our
experience and knowledge of this prime location enable us to
offer exceptional service every step of the way, whether you
are buying, selling or renting.
