London: A Summary
London is a complex place to invest in property.
For example, if you’re after high yields, then London rarely offers the best – with other cities around the UK performing much better.
Furthermore, property prices are more expensive in the capital than in any other part of the country. As such, investing is very expensive, especially when you factor in additional costs, such as stamp duty, mortgage interest, maintenance, and so on.
However, it’s a different story when you look at what London has to offer by way of capital growth.
For example, the average property value in London in January 2014 was £355,000. As of 2024, the average value has increased to £523,000 – a 47% increase.
In short, the capital appreciation of property in London is unmatched anywhere else in the UK. And even while other areas might offer similar percentage returns, the raw cash return is unparalleled due to the higher prices.
Property Investment Opportunities
Off Plan Property in London
One of the most exciting opportunities for investors in London lies in the off-plan property market.
Given the city’s high land and development costs, developers are often keen to secure early sales to offset expenses. This creates a window of opportunity for investors to purchase properties at a discount before construction is completed.
Plus, off-plan property in London often comes with the opportunity for significant capital appreciation during construction, especially in areas undergoing wider regeneration or new development.
Investing in London’s off-plan property market does come with considerations, such as the extended timeframe before completion and the potential for market fluctuations. However, for those who can afford to be patient, the long-term rewards can be exceptional. You can learn more about whether off-plan is right for you in our guide: Off Plan Property Investment
Regardless, you can find all of the latest off-plan and complete, ready-to-let properties available in London below. If you find one of interest, contact our team for a free investor brochure.

Popular Areas In London
If you are unfamiliar with London but you’re looking to invest in the city, we recommend getting familiar with all the different areas. Below, we’ve picked out three areas well worth consideration. For more granular detail, check out our research into the best areas for rental yields in London.
Central London
Central London is home to some of the most expensive property in the world. Investors must bear this in mind as it typically means rental yields are lower. For example, an area like Mayfair can offer as little as 1.5%.
However, our own research shows such properties tend to enjoy the highest rates of long-term capital growth in the country, so any choice depends on an investor’s budget and objectives. Many investors seek a balance between the two by looking slightly further afield for properties that still offer easy access to the centre, but at a more affordable price and with better yields.

Is London a good place to invest for capital growth?
Is London a good place to invest for yields?
Realistically, you will generally get better yields when investing further north (such as Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester), as initial purchase prices and stamp duty will be considerably lower in comparison to London.
That said, if you pick certain areas of London, you can find quite good yields, but it isn’t easy. Check out our buy-to-let yield map to find the most promising hotspots.
