Greater London
Property development
in Greater London.
The UK's largest and most active property development market, with persistent housing undersupply across all 33 boroughs. Inner London commands premium values for luxury and BTR schemes, while outer boroughs attract family housing and first-time buyer developments. Crossrail, Overground extensions, and the Bakerloo line upgrade continue to reshape micro-market dynamics.
The Greater London property market recorded 92,319 residential transactions over the past 12 months, with a county-wide median sale price of £537,500 - £253k above the UK average. Prices have shown softening, with a year-on-year change of -2.2% across the county's 51 principal towns.
New-build completions totalled 1,478 over the same period, representing 1.6% of total transactions. This signals an active development pipeline with proven buyer demand.
