London leads world property league
Hugo Duncan, Evening Standard
8 May 2007

London is the most expensive city in the world to buy a house. Research by upmarket estate agent Knight Frank has found that property prices in the most exclusive areas of the capital are even higher than those in Monaco.

It comes as househunters across London struggle to find a property they can afford amid a shortage of stock and booming demand.

The crisis has become even more critical in recent months as wealthy foreigners and huge City bonuses drive prices ever higher, leaving many key workers and first-time buyers unable to get onto the housing ladder.

The report, by Knight Frank and Citi Private Bank, said the average cost of a prime central London property is £2300 per square foot.

That compares with £2190 in Monaco, £1600 in the top areas of New York, £1230 in Hong Kong and £1100 in Tokyo.

The most expensive areas of London are Belgravia, where prices can exceed £3000 a square foot, and Knightsbridge.

Liam Bailey, head of residential research at Knight Frank, said: 'The most expensive cities are those where rich international buyers congregate, and no other city is as international as London.

'Its time zone and language - convenient for businessmen from the US to the Middle East to Asia - all conspire to make London the leading financial centre, and that has boosted house prices.'

Wealthy foreigners were responsible for 59% of prime London sales so far this year. The cost of renting luxury homes in London has also soared.

The most expensive is 10 Park Street in Mayfair, which Knight Frank is marketing for £25,000 a week, or £1.3m a year.
