London House Price Outlook
After a very hectic couple of years in the London housing market, normality returned to the London housing market in 2022 and it seems that 2023 will see lower levels of activity than 2022 accompanied by modest falls in house prices, although a shortage of homes for sale is keeping prices keen.
Whilst house prices in London rose in April house prices across the capital are finely balanced with 16 London boroughs seeing house price rises and 18 house price falls. We expect that house prices will soften in the coming months in London, but we do not expect to see a house price crash.
In the medium term, the war on inflation is the biggest risk factor for London house prices, but as inflation is taken back under control we would expect to see a continued recovery in housing transaction volumes and positive momentum maintained for house prices.
Please note that lower-than-usual levels of housing transactions mean that house prices at the borough level will show higher levels of volatility than normal.
