London top for property investment

A new report from Cluttons also claims 43% of investors say the financial crisis has had no impact on their view of London as a top investment location.

Just over a quarter (29%) go on to claim that London is better-placed because of the Eurozone difficulties because of the rapid recovery of Central London residential property prices after the credit crunch.

Cluttons said Middle Eastern investors identified London as their first choice city and in particular, HNW individuals from Dubai and Manama (Bahrain) were continuing to look primarily at prime Central London residential.

The property agents said growing demand pressure on this scarce asset class will drive values up further in the capital.
