For the last few years, the London property market has been one of the most talked about in the world. Before the crash it was talked about because of the rapid rate at which property prices were growing, especially prime properties, and the fact that first time buyers were being priced out of the market.

Middle Eastern Real Estate Investments In London
by OP-Mall on Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008 in UK Property
London is set to become the new playground for Middle Eastern wealth, judging by the recent headlines and news clips that made their rounds. Where the nations from the Gulf have long enjoyed London as their summer playground to escape their hot desert sun, new economic developments are fast seeing a massive influx of new investors from Gulf nations.
A recent deal that made headlines in the capital was the sale of an office block in the city to the Kuwaiti Government for £400 million. While this certainly seems like a lot of money to the average person, Kuwaitis are laughing all the way to the bank as rising oil prices and falling property prices are enabling massive opportunities for the nations who actually demand the prices to start with.
Are Central London Houses Priced To Tumble?

This whole scenario is affecting the annual growth potential by as much as 22%.
With many employees losing their jobs in the City of London due to the credit crunch issue, buying power and demand for property have been lowered tremendously. The Director of Savills residential research states that: “values aren’t bouncing back as fast as in 1998 and 2001 after dropping one or two quarters.”
