Prices Regent's Park

It's no secret that property prices in prime central London locations have been climbing for some time, and central London estate agents remain positive about the market's future.

Who's buying in Regent's Park?

The area has a distinctly international fan club, with property for sale in Regent's Park attracting a wide audience thanks to its central London location and cultural riches. Andrew Ellinas, Managing Director of Sandfords, says NW1 has always attracted a global purchaser: "In more stable times, the area was fuelled by Middle Eastern buyers who liked to have a London property so they could escape the Arab heat during the summer. More recently, we have seen Russian, Chinese and Indian buyers queue at the doors of central London estate agents. However, with the Eurozone in unchartered waters, we are seeing the return of French and Italian buyers, especially since the latter has entered a triple-dip recession situation. Of course, we continue to help buyers who are moving within London and from other parts of the UK."

Property types in Regent's Park

The characteristic properties for sale in Regent's Park revolve around the great architects of the Regency period, with houses designed by John Nash and Decimus Burton some of the finest period dwellings in the land. Characterised by their grand proportions, Nash and Burton terraces bear white stucco-fronted façades and Corinthian-style columns. Nash villas are one of the most sought-after properties for sale in Regent's Park as only a handful were built, and these examples can offer almost 3,000 square feet of living space.

Equally as grand is Cambridge Gate - a French second empire building built around 1875 that has been converted into apartments and penthouses with views over Regent's Park. Elsewhere, many red-brick terraces on the Crown Estate have been skilfully divided into flats, and there are many more modern portered mansion blocks in Regent's Park, offering a low-maintenance style of living.
