London-Agencies
\nLondon's luxury housing prices have risen significantly on the back of strong demand from abroad, despite expectations that growth will be weakened this year due to measures taken by the government to impose a stamp tax for the certification of documents. Prices of high-end properties in central London rose by 0.7 percent, meaning prices have risen by almost 3 percent year-to-date, according to new data from Frank Knight, the real estate brokerage specializing in high-end property transactions, and over the past 12 months, high-end property prices rose by 7.7 percent in the British capital.
\nThis growth comes despite predictions by four high-end real estate agencies that growth would be zero in 2013 due to the impact of the government's ratification tax measures introduced in last year's budget.
\n The real estate agency's research indicates the extent to which the dynamics of the London market have changed in response to the new fees. Although there was a drop in the number of sales of properties priced between two and three million pounds in the capital in the 12 months to the end of March, there was a corresponding 6 percent increase in the number of transactions in properties worth less than two million pounds. This suggests that some sellers lowered the prices of properties below EGP 2 million in order to escape the high 7 percent tax.
\n Many real estate agents in London say: Overall demand for housing in high-end areas of central London has returned since the beginning of the year, driven largely by foreign buyers.
\nSavills real estate agency said: The unexpected growth in prices can be partly explained by the fall in the value of the pound, meaning London still looks cheap in the eyes of foreign buyers. Ed Mead, a board member at London real estate agency Douglas & Gordon, said: \u201cThere is little sign of foreign buyers\u201d appetite waning.\".
\nAccording to Knight Frank, dollar-denominated buyers can buy trophy homes in the capital at a 7 percent discount to peak market prices in 2008, while buyers from Hong Kong enjoy an 11 percent discount. British buyers have to pay a premium of 17 percent. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
