Cash Is King When it Comes To Buying Prime London Property

October 21, 2013 By Property Finders Leave a Comment

As you have probably gathered by now Property Finders London are fairly conservative in our attitude to risk and wary of schemes such as Help-To-Buy that lure those who can least afford it into taking on large loans. Yes, mortgage rates are at historic lows so they seem affordable now, but what would happen if […]

False Statistics and London Property

October 9, 2013 By Property Finders Leave a Comment

The papers and news are full of stories about how the London property market continues to soar and how it is outperforming the rest of the UK (not to mention other markets). However, as with most statistics this only tells part of the story. Yes, good quality properties under £2m are increasing in value rapidly […]

Fatal Negotiation Techniques When Buying Prime London Property

October 6, 2013 By Property Finders Leave a Comment

There are a number of ways to fail in a negotiation. Some are more obvious than others. However, we were speaking with a client this week who is selling their house in Kensington who has turned down a good offer because he does not trust the potential buyers. Why doesn’t he trust them? Are there worrying articles […]

How To Find Off Market London Properties

September 27, 2013 By Property Finders Leave a Comment

We are often asked about off market London properties and how to source them. The easiest way is to speak to the estate agents! Now this may sound like rather a bizarre thing to say, but it’s true: a huge number of properties are sold off-market by the agents. An email was recently received from […]

Foxtons and The Curse of The Tallest Building

September 24, 2013 By Property Finders Leave a Comment

Foxtons, one of London’s better known and least loved estate agents, has just floated on the London stock market. The IPO was snapped up with great zeal and the shares are currently trading at twenty times earnings according to Reuters. Foxtons was last sold in 2007 for c. £450m by John Hunt, the founder, to […]

Politicians and the London Property Market

September 23, 2013 By Property Finders Leave a Comment

The big talking point at the moment is whether the property market is a bubble. The latest fuel to the fire is the news that London house prices have risen 9.7% over the past year. This figure is far too general to be of much use to anyone as are most statistics on property. For […]

Let The London Property Market Sort Itself Out

September 16, 2013 By Property Finders Leave a Comment

Here at Property Finders London, we are big fans of free markets and think that government intervention should be avoided wherever possible. This is in direct contrast with most politicians who think it is vital that they “manage” the economy, basically so that they can get re-elected. Unfortunately this has never ever worked over the […]

Is the London Property Market a Bubble Waiting To Burst?

September 9, 2013 By Property Finders Leave a Comment

This is one of the questions we are asked most often which is a variation of the classic “is now a good time to buy?”. The honest answer is that nobody knows. If a nuclear bomb went off in Knightsbridge next week then the answer would clearly be no. However, one does have to ask, […]

New Build v Traditional Properties – Which is the Better Investment for London?

September 9, 2013 By Property Finders Leave a Comment

There is huge debate about which type of London property makes the better investment. You have probably heard the arguments: new builds are better because they are easier to maintain, traditional are better because they have more character, better ceiling heights, etc. Of course, whether the property will be a good investment has a lot […]
