Some of streets shown are beautiful!
Quote from the article (last paragraph):
Many of the world’s super-rich, including Britons, have concluded that London property is one of the best investments at a time of global economic uncertainty.

It seems everyone the world over wants to buy in London, hence the constant rise in London house prices.......:money:0 -
Changes in Housing benefits and general downturn will start to effect even London.
Less demand from rich foreign buyers and BIG cuts in HB will start to reduce demand for big houses
But we shall wait and see0 -
What a non story, and very misleading thread title on your part (although I am sure you are aware of that). The article refers to 'prime property' - I doubt Roman Abramovich and his mates are on MSE reading this thread with a huge grin on their face.
In the real world, London house prices only managed a 0.3% annual rise according to the land registry, and with inflation at nearly 5%, that actually represents a DROP in London house prices.
The latest Land Registry report is here if you do want to have a read on it: http://www.landreg.gov.uk/upload/documents/HPI_Report_Oct_11_tr7lk6.pdf. I realise this is Octobers report, but as they are based on actual recorded sales, rather than a spokeman from a second rate website who only monitors asking prices, there is a bit of lag.
Novembers Land Registry report actually comes out tomorrow so I look forward to seeing you start a thread when it does.0 -

The above poster is actually Nollag2006, he has about 20 fake accounts to try and launch property propaganda. He is a buy to let landlord in Hounslow London and is concerned for falling house prices in the area. He has been made aware of the Land Registry showing house price falls in London and has also been aware that the foreign money propping the top end of the market has more than halved in the last 6 months.
If London prices continue to fall he could be in financial trouble, hence the spin.
Here is a list of his accounts here.
I think the scale of house price falls nationally will dramatically increase as London produces bigger falls. Did anyone really think there would be an endless supply of foreign money coming in especially when new property taxes are being discussed?:exclamatiScams - Shared Equity, Shared Ownership, Newbuy, Firstbuy and Help to Buy.
