As property prices in London decrease year after year, property owners are less likely to sell and as a solution, are turning to short-letting their properties to earn money while they wait for house prices to increase. The average asking price in London has generally increased by month however the annual price change shows a decrease, with property prices in Inner London dropping by 2.8%. Rightmove’s news update shows the changes each month in the property market in London, as well as other parts of the U.K.
This results in property owners turning more to short-term letting solutions, such as holiday letting through Airbnb or Expedia. Even though the price of a 2 bedroom flat in London has actually increased, albeit 1%, the same property can reach a yield of £3,000 per month by short-term property letting.
Property website, Zoopla, compiled figures on which London boroughs were suffering the most and had the largest reduction in house prices. If you are interested in investing in property for short-term let, then the London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in popular Zone 1 has had the largest reduction in average house prices with an average of 7.8%. This was then followed by just as popular, Westminster (-7.61%), Hammersmith and Fulham (-7.41%), and Camden (-6.99%). So if you are looking to invest in property, now seems to be a good opportunity in the capital. Or if you already own a property in these areas, maybe you want to wait before selling? If this is the case, why don’t you short let while you wait and earn money in the meantime?
