Property Prices in London Soaring Again

It is reported that property prices in the capital are rising fast making it difficult for expats to buy in and around London area. With the buy to let market booming expats are seeking other areas to purchase in.

What Are The Alternatives?

A good plan would be to look at five towns from around the M25 corridor as future commuting hotspots, led largely by huge development investment. All of the areas have seen prices rise in the last three years.

- Colchester                 Commute time into London 50 minutes

- Aylesbury                  Commute time into London 59 minutes

- Didcot                        Commute time into London 45 minutes

- Basingstoke               Commute time into London 55 minutes

- Tunbridge Wells        Commute time into London 45 minutes

All these areas have commuting times to the capital of less than one hour, making them prime targets for investment. All indications show that rental properties are in high demand in these five towns.

As an expat looking to invest in the buy to let market there are many areas around the UK showing good growth potential. This survey has just highlighted the above as an example to be considered.
