A number of estate agents have released their property price forecasts for Prime Central London (PCL) of late. Strutt & Parker, publishing a five-year forecast, estimates price growth of up to 35% in PCL, while Savills’ five-year house price forecast is for a slightly more conservative price rise of 23.9%.

Now, estate agent Portico says that the following London locations are primed for excellent investment opportunities, due to a combination of affordability, rental yield performance and regeneration.

Tottenham - significant room for equity growth when compared to its broader borough market position, with regeneration projects in the works to back that growth
Seven Sisters - an up-and-coming area offering affordable London living in close proximity to many popular, vibrant areas Edmonton - with excellent transport links and huge regeneration benefits, Edmonton is a vibrant multicultural community that offers fantastic rental yields.

Barking - back again from our ‘Where to buy property in 2021’ guide, Barking still represents outstanding affordability and opportunity for growth thanks to its connectivity and regeneration effort.

Ilford - with the eagerly anticipated impact of the Elizabeth Line completion coming soon, Ilford is certainly one to watch - affordable property prices, steady rental yields and great for commuter.

Chadwell Heath - housing affordability, Elizabeth Line connectivity on its way, proximity to many busy retail and leisure hubs, and healthy rental yields. Portico adds that Chadwell Heath is a fantastic option for investors looking for a more suburban neighbourhood.
