Will house prices rise in St. John's Wood?
The outlook for the prime property market is dependent on various political and economic factors. Inflationary pressures are likely to continue building, increasing the pressure on the Bank of England to raise the base rate over the coming months. Either way, mortgage rates are expected to remain elevated for the rest of this year and into next.
While these influences will continue to drive sentiment, they won’t completely overrule the underlying motivations that drive people to move, as has been evidenced during the past year.
The prime markets of outer London will continue to be driven by motivated, needs-based buyers. But price sensitivity is likely to persist, particularly given the exposure to higher mortgage costs. Quality remains a key focus and so best-in-class properties are expected to outperform.
Over the longer term, an improving economic outlook and market sentiment will lead to a gradual recovery in values. As a result, we are forecasting price growth of 10.8% across prime outer London over the five years to 2030.
