The Jewel in the Crown?

October 7, 2015

Will Canary Wharf become the Jewel in the Crown over the next few years when it comes to property investment in London?

We have seen big rises in London over the last few years well above that of other parts of the UK, that however does not dampen the expectations of MyLondonHome CEO Christian Thomas.

He believes that property prices in the E14 area will increase substantially over the next few years, he says:

“There is an awful lot of development going on here and the area still represents good value for money compared with parts of west and central London.

“Prices there have gone up in the past five years and they will increase further in the next five years.”

MyLondonHome is based in Canary Wharf and a Hong Kong office.

They  will be at the Buy London event on Wednesday, October 14, which they are also sponsoring.
