PropertyInvesting.net: Property Investment Special Reports

The listing shown above is prepared by PropertyInvesting.net to help property investors - it provides a summary of many of the key investment areas within East and South-East London which are likely to be positively impacted by new infra-structure developments in the next ten years:

• South London Line tube extension via New Cross, Brockley and Peckham (2010)
• East London Olympics (2012 based in Stratford)
• Dockland Light Railway extension to Woolwich (2008)
• Tube extension to Hackney (2010)
• Crossrail - Stratford to Heathrow (2017)
• Eurostar International Station at Stratford and St Pancras (finished 2007)
• City airport expansion (ongoing)
• Canary Wharf office space expansion (ongoing)

Property purchased close to these new stations and infra-structure projects, preferably within quiet Victorian neighbourhoods, are likely to see significant above trend house price movements in the next ten years, continuing the trend experienced in the last 5 years. Why? Because the population of Greater London is forecast to expand by another 600,000 people by 2015 (a 7% increase) - and most experts cannot see anything like the house building required to keep up with this demand. In addition, London is likely to remain a critically important global financial and services centre - providing solid and relatively high paid employment. This despite the global financial turmoil of Oct 2008 that will likely lead to a UK recession in 2009 - we expect a rapid recovery end 2009 with property price increase in East London in 2010 onwards. 

If you have comments or other views on areas that they believe should be included, please contact  enquiries@propertyinvesting.net  

Enclosed is a list of London Tube Maps to help you with your analysis of the above areas. If you consider the all new infra-structure developments together, then work out when these will occur and their overlapping spheres of influence from an impact and time stand-point, one can then work out the highest change of positive change, and the biggest impact regerenation will have within these areas. If positive change and regeneration take place, is highly likely the prices will firstly rise, and secondly rise at a high rate than surrounding areas. Good examples of areas with profound overlapping spheres of influence are:

• Bow and Bow Church
• Stratford
• Forest Gate 
• Hackney Wick
• Plaistow
• West Ham
• Hoxton
• Canning Town
• Shoreditch
• Kings Cross
• Woolwich North
• Woolwich
• New Cross
• Limehouse
• Brockley
• Forest Hill
• East Peckham
• Surrey Keys
• Crystal Palace
• Croydon
• Leytonstone

These are some of our top potential regeneration hotspots for the next four years in the UK - all of these will be positive impacted by the Olympics, East London Line, Eurostar (High Speed One), City and Canary Wharf financial developments, and Docklands Light Railway extensions.
