The London property market continues to show record levels of activity.
The first half of the year has seen a very active market as London continues to attract buyers and landlords looking for a safe place to invest. The number of people looking through us for their next home is increasing yearly; in London alone, we arrange over 2,000 viewings per month.
We have offices in desirable areas such as Mayfair and Pimlico in prime central London and Teddington, Wimbledon, and Weybridge in the leafy suburbs. Alongside the country offices, the Jackson-Stops network allows us to support and advise our clients and customers, no matter their requirements. This is why we are the first choice for those looking to move or invest in the capital.

Our teams' experience, local knowledge, and service standards are vital to our success, which is why over two-thirds of our new business comes from word-of- mouth recommendations. This is evident by the increase in new instructions across our London network, which is up by an average of 43% compared to last year.
The demand for rental homes in London is at record levels, with more tenants opting for long-term tenancies. Our Corporate Lettings and International Relocation team receives hundreds of weekly enquiries from large-scale corporations looking to relocate their staff, providing our landlords access to top-quality professional tenants.
London, being an iconic city, attracts enquiries from all over the world. With a lack of supply, London needs more landlords than ever before, especially with over 70% of tenants choosing to renew their tenancies, meaning less property is coming back to the market. The appetite for well-priced, good-quality property has also driven a steady price increase.

Providing the very best service to our clients and customers is an important part of what we do. Our landlords and tenants are supported by our proactive Property Management teams, who are only 15 minutes away from any property in their portfolio should an issue arise. Our proactive approach builds rapport with the tenant and keeps arrears to a minimum of less than 1%.
There are considerable benefits to using an experienced agent. A typical Jackson-Stops client is a busy professional who relies on the advice of their trusted local expert to make their move happen. We achieve this by offering a bespoke service, whether the customer or client is moving within London or looking nationally.
Our clients understand that London is a brilliant place to invest, and we’re here to support them on their property journey with local knowledge and expert advice.
We expect that demand will remain strong for the foreseeable future as buyers and tenants continue to flock to the capital and its surrounding areas.
