The UK's largest and most active property development market, with persistent housing undersupply across all 33 boroughs.

The Greater London property market recorded 96,531 residential transactions over the past 12 months, with a county-wide median sale price of £522,500 - £238k above the UK average. Prices have shown softening, with a year-on-year change of -3.9% across the county's 51 principal towns.
New-build completions totalled 1,339 over the same period, representing 1.4% of total transactions. This signals an active development pipeline with proven buyer demand.
