And now for something completely different!
There is a lot of negative news on the economy, the Ukraine war and the cost of living.
I feel like the property market as a result is taking a breath after two years of unexpected growth and activity; and we may be in for a more cautious summer. However I don’t think the market will tumble since there still is a supply side problem; prices will remain strong.
Since we may have a slightly more subdued Spring and Summer I am always being asked to recommend some of my favourite places by friends and clients so here are a list of a few in West London.
With this in mind I am beginning a new series of newsletters, recommending my favourite places to my network – mostly in London but also farther afield!
