Despite ongoing financial constraints, the number of first time buyers in London has increased by 64% since the trough in 2008.

As might be expected, outer boroughs are more affordable than inner boroughs, with the top three being in south east London.

London has the highest average rents of any global city at £2,083 pcm, having grown by 4% last year, but there are wide variations across boroughs. The strength of the market reflects a huge surge in the number of renters in the capital over the past decade. This increase in renters has driven the emergence of a new breed of rental property: build to rent schemes. There are now 328 such schemes under construction in London.

However, PDR (Permitted Development Rights) schemes are not the only ones making use of redundant office space – iconic schemes such Centre Point and Southbank Tower are also conversions.
