Greenwich’s Residential Growth

Greenwich’s rental price, yield and demand Rental Demand Drivers In the third quarter of 2007, gross mortgage lending at loan to values of more than 90% equalled £14.6 billion, in the third quarter of 2011 it was just one twentieth of that figure. (FSA) The average deposit for a first time buyer in the UK currently stands at £26,000 up from £12,000 five years earlier. In London that average rises to some £64,000, with 71% of first time buyers requiring assistance from the bank of mum and dad to finance their purchase. (CML) At the end of January 2012 the average discounted interest rate for a 90% LTV mortgage stood at 5.3%, compared to 3.2% for a 75% LTV product – an increased cost of some 65%. (Bank of England) The profile of renters will change, with more affluent sections of society being forced or choosing to rent. Increased demand for private rented accommodation will include family housing.

Capital Growth Greenwich is out doing the target of 31,000 new homes built in the ten year period to 2016. Schemes under way include the award- winning Greenwich Millennium Village, the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, and other development areas. Because of the volume of Greenwich’s regeneration scheme, it is becoming one of the better places to live in the country, spending heavily on hospitals, schools and leisure facilities will make the demand to live in Greenwich grow hugely, which Hanover Red believes will result in a dramatic increase to property prices in the next two years. London set for decade of buy-to-let growth. By Tanya Powley. The Financial Times. March 2012. Property in London and the south-east will continue to produce the highest total returns over the next ten years for buy-to-let investors, according to research released this week – with Greenwich, Hackney and Newham forecast to deliver returns of more than 9 per cent. Seven London boroughs will deliver net total annual returns of more than 8.5 per cent in the next decade.
