London faces a severe housing shortage, with demand far outstripping supply. High employment rates, foreign investment, and domestic migration into the capital have kept demand significantly elevated. Over 1 million new homes are estimated to be needed by 2030 to meet demand projections.
Rental Yields Despite the high purchase prices, rental yields in London have remained attractive, averaging around 4% across the city. However, yields vary significantly by area, with lower prices in east/southeast zones providing yields of 5%+. Prime central regions often have sub-3% yields.

Housing Demand London faces a severe housing shortage, with demand far outstripping supply.

Rental Yields Despite the high purchase prices, rental yields in London have remained attractive, averaging around 4% across the city. However, yields vary significantly by area, with lower prices in east/southeast zones providing yields of 5%+. Prime central regions often have sub-3% yields.
East London (Stratford, Hackney) – Major regeneration and development, high rental demand, strong yields around 5-6%
South (Croydon, Lewisham) – More affordable prices but excellent rail links to central zones
Prime Central (Westminster, Kensington) – Prestigious neighbourhoods, costly but historically strong capital growth
North (Islington, Camden) – Trendy, desirable areas perfect for young professional renters, yields around 4-5%
West (Ealing, Hounslow) – Suburban feel with good transportation access to the city, solid yields around 4-5%
The lack of new housing supply and robust economic prospects position London for continued price appreciation and rental income opportunities across many areas in the years ahead.
