The Housing Market in London
　
The London housing market suffered dramatically as did all aspects of business due to the recent global recession, however recently as we have slowly began to recover the housing markets too have began to. London’s housing market is leading the way in the United Kingdom.

Property values are still lower than before the recession took hold so investors are able to take advantage by buying reasonably low and holding on to their property for a few months or years as the housing market slowly improves and as housing prices slowly increase. The housing market in London ahs increased by (+8.0%) which is higher than in any other city in the United Kingdom. This is causing a ripple affect, throughout cities in the south of the UK. House prices in London £436,101. This will almost certainly increase year on year, making it a very tempting investment.
