Send us Fan Mail
Farnaz Fazaipour is joined by Kris Ericsson, prime central London specialist, for one of the most data-rich market assessments of 2026.
Kris shares the numbers few people in the market will say on record: prime central London is now 20–25% below 2014 peak levels. Belgravia and Knightsbridge are down 30%. The correction has been running for 12 years driven by interest rates, Brexit, SDLT, and a dramatic shift in the buyer pool. 68% of prime central London sales last year came from non-domestic buyers relocating away from London, mostly to the Middle East.

Prime London 2026: Vendors Discounting Heavily, Buyers Demanding Real Value & Where the Market Goes Next
Send us Fan Mail
Farnaz Fazaipour is joined by Jeremy Davidson for a frank assessment of where prime London property prices actually stand in 2026.
Jeremy's view is direct: the market has not fully corrected. In high-value areas like Chelsea and Kensington, properties could still fall by 15–20%. Deals are happening but only where vendors accept substantial discounts from asking price. Buyers are not moving for marginal improvements. They are only transacting where they see genuine value.
A candid, unvarnished look at the prime London market for anyone buying, selling or holding in 2026.
