LONDON MARKET COMMENT
London’s trusted agent
Following a thriving summer market, demand to live in the capital remains at an all-time high.
As the ultimate destination to live, work and study, London continues to attract buyers and tenants looking for high-quality property in the best locations. Strong interest, combined with our proactive approach, means we are consistently receiving exceptional offers, a trend we expect to continue into the autumn months.
This year so far has been busy for both sales and lettings, and with no signs of this slowing down, there is plenty of confidence in the London market. Alex McConnell, Pimlico Lettings Director, says, “With unprecedented demand in the lettings market, competition is intensifying, which is driving up rental prices. In Chelsea, we recently let a four bedroom family home moments from Sloane Square, achieving a 30% rent increase from the previous tenancy.”
We offer an altogether better experience to sellers and landlords who trust us with their property, and our teams strive to exceed customer expectations. Jackson-Stops provides the reassurance of working with experts who adhere to the highest standards of regulation and ethical behaviour. But don’t just take our word for it, as over 70 per cent of business comes from recommendations and referrals, which reflects the dedication of our hard-working teams, who go the extra mile to deliver a first-class experience.

FIRST-CLASS EXPERIENCE
London remains an exciting place to live and invest, attracting a diverse international client base. Appetite continues to grow for super prime properties, with an influx of overseas buyers and tenants creating high levels of competition. Harry Buchanan, Pimlico Sales Director, adds, “With growing demand for premium homes in Pimlico and Westminster, our average selling price is now 47% higher than the same time last year. This highlights the confidence buyers have in prime central London as a resilient and attractive long-term investment.”
Our impressive performance is driven by the professionalism of our colleagues, who go above and beyond to surpass expectations. Customer feedback continues to be important to us, as we know clients have a choice of who they partner with.
