Looking for secure, high-growth investment options? Prime Central London (PCL) property could be the ideal addition to your portfolio.
Resilience in a Shifting Market
While some property markets have seen recent fluctuations, PCL has demonstrated remarkable stability. Despite global economic uncertainties, PCL values have only dipped slightly, experiencing a mere 1.2% decrease over the past year. Savills have also forecasted PCL to be the only residential market not to experience a dip in values in 2024. This resilience highlights the enduring appeal of PCL.
By 2025, growth is expected to return, with forecasts suggesting an overall increase in house prices of 18.7% over the next 5 years. To put it into real-life figures, buying a beautiful two-bedroom apartment in Eaton Lane, Belgravia at £4.13m could yield you £772,310 by 2028 with the predicted forecast, solidifying PCL’s position as a strong investment option.

Beyond the Investment
PCL has long been viewed as a secure investment, particularly if you’re an international buyer seeking a stable and prestigious asset, as the allure goes beyond just impressive yields. The area remains an unparalleled location offering a unique combination of factors that continues to attract affluent buyers.
As the home to some of London’s most prestigious neighbourhoods, offering proximity to world-class cultural institutions, renowned schools, and exclusive shopping destinations, demand remains high.
Options to diversify if you’re asset-rich, cash-poor
If you have accumulated many assets and no longer have verifiable income, it is still possible to consider diversifying your portfolio with a high-growth asset class like a property in PCL.
How can this be achieved? Notional income. A theoretical income based on asset value can be used to demonstrate your ability to repay the loan. With a discretionary portfolio of £12 million, for example, you could potentially qualify for a mortgage of £3.3 million.
While every client’s circumstances are unique, there’s always room to explore the options.
