The latest set of figures from the Land Registry suggest that prices of property sold in Putney are outperforming not only the UK average but the average of London as a whole.
The average price is now £460,256 which is up 16.9% over the year compared with London prices up 10.2% and the average UK prices up 8.7%. These figures confirm that prices in the SW15 postcode have more than tripled over the last ten years with flats and maisonettes costing 3 1/4 more than now than they did 10 years ago.
The continued rise of the property market may have been a fact in prompting the Bank of England to increase the base rate by a quarter of a per cent recently to 5% Although the rise may seem nominal the level of gearing of many mortgage holders may mean that payment becomes more difficult.
After the prices of flats remaining static in the previous quarter, they have shown the best increase this time. Semi-detached houses have taken a temporary plunge while detached properties continue to do well.
As far as volume of sales go, the number of detached houses exchanging hands jumped 145% in the last quarter and 19.3% more flats were sold. In comparison, the numbers of semi-detached and terraced properties being sold dropped over the last 3 months.
Local agent Tim Warren commented:
" latest set of land registry figures indicate that property prices are continuing to rise with Putney to the fore!
It will be fascinating to see whether the recent increase in interest rates to 5% succeed in slowing the market although with very few properties currently for sale and huge city bonuses I expect demand to be as strong as ever in the first few months of next year.
However, nothing lasts forever and I would advise purchasers and particularly ‘buy to let’ inventions to approach the market with an element of caution! "
