London Is the Black Sheep. Capital Isn't Leaving

2026-10-0603:47

Send us Fan Mail Prime London has corrected. The question now is who moves while it has. Farnaz Fazaipour, founder of London Property, has spent 30 years in prime central London, independent of any estate agency, advising around 1,500 private clients. This week she covers the FT's verdict on London as property's black sheep, developers retreating from the capital, and Gulf and Asian buyers acquiring whole blocks to rent. She also covers new regulation of managing agents, mortgage costs at a 1...

Prime London Property Update: Tax, Gulf Buyers & the Budget 2026

2026-09-2903:58

Send us Fan Mail There were two forces pulling against each other in the London market this week. At home, the tax pressure built ahead of the Budget. A new report claims London homeowners underpay some £3.1bn a year under a council-tax system still pegged to 1991 values, reviving the case for a proportional property tax — and Labour MPs moved to close a loophole that had cut one billionaire’s bill by £18m. The direction of travel on how prime property is taxed is clear. And yet internation...

Send us Fan Mail There were two stories in the London market this week, pulling in opposite directions. On tax, the net widened: the Chancellor is reported to be considering a cut to the mansion tax threshold to £1.5m. down from the £2m first floated, more than doubling the number of homes caught. Beneath the headlines, the frozen inheritance-tax nil-rate band continues to pull more estates into charge as values rise. On the market, a clear split. Prime central London now sits around ...

Mansion Tax Assessments, £40k-a-Week Renters and the Duke's Listed-Building Win: This Week in Prime London

2026-08-3003:27

Send us Fan Mail The mansion tax has moved from proposal to process. The government has begun sending assessors to inspect homes worth more than £2m ahead of the autumn budget, preparing to place them in a new, higher council tax band. For prime central London — where much of the stock sits above the threshold — the real question is not whether, but how each home will be valued, and by whom. That single shift framed this week's bulletin. Alongside it: super-prime tenants reportedly paying u...
