Consultancy Jones Lang LaSalle have been looking at the effect on house prices of London’s massive Crossrail project, and are predicting price rises in some neighbourhoods of as much as 44% by 2018. The east-west rail link through the capital, and Europe’s largest infrastructure project, will cause more property ripples, and have a bigger impact on London, than even the latest Tube extensions to the Jubilee and East London lines.

Today the London Independent has published photos of progress at Crossrail. The £14.8bn project, slated for completion in 2018, will connect Maidenhead and Heathrow in the west to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east.
The developers claim it will increase London’s rail capacity by 10 per cent.
The pictures show the five tunnelling machines carving new paths under the capital, and remodelling old ones, some of which were first used in 1878.
Over 7,000 people are working on the dig, which goes on 24 hours a day. Click image for more.

The FT reports that overseas investors’ appetite for London property sharpened in 2012, as foreign buyers poured £2.2bn into new-build homes, up from £1.8bn in 2011.
Singapore and Hong Kong led the field, with a 23 and 16 per cent share respectively of the central London new-build market, research by Knight Frank, a property agent, showed.
British buyers remained the largest group in the new-build market, accounting for 27 per cent of transactions last year, roughly similar to 2011 levels. But the number of other nationalities buying “off-plan”, or before a property was built, in London rose from 43 to 52, Knight Frank said.
London’s position as an international financial centre, as well as its schools and universities, were key factors attracting foreign buyers.
