Hackney & Westminster Most Resilient Boroughs

Musings of a London Property Search Agent

An article has appeared in US publication Forbes singling out Hackney and Westminster as the most resilient London Boroughs.   Sound familiar?  It should – we have been saying this for a while and Forbes have based their data on Land Registry sold prices to the end of September 2008.

The article cites Waltham Forest, Islington and Wandsworth as the worst performing areas but goes on to mention hard times in bankers paradise, Notting Hill, which falls between Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea, both of which have performed relatively well up to September according to the Land Registry.   We know that the assertions made are true, which just goes to show the limitations of the house price indices and the need for street by street analysis. Trust this London Property Search Agent to find your dream home in the right place at the right time.
