Commercial conveyancing solicitors in London are reporting strong rental growth rates and no significant evidence of any downturn.
Areas such as Covent Garden and the streets to the north of Oxford Street near Selfridges are booming. Developers who have invested heavily in these locations also set their sights on for example Earls Court for its redevelopment potential and London’s Tech City near Shoreditch.
The rising rents of properties in these locations have seen more than a quarter increase in their freehold values.
Solicitors in London who have clients in Mayfair with commercial property portfolios have noted a slowdown in sales, however, as their clients enjoy the security of the yields from their investments made over the past ten years.
