The 2026 Investment Case
Why experienced advisors consider this a structurally attractive entry point
Prime London residential prices are below their 2014–2015 peak in real terms, following a period of correction driven by SDLT changes and rising interest rates. Savills forecasts a gradual but sustained recovery through 2026 and beyond.
For international buyers, sterling remains weak against the dollar and dirham — a structural currency advantage that compounds the real-terms price correction. For GCC buyers, a £2.5M Zone 1 residence costs approximately AED 11.5M today versus AED 13M in 2015.
Zone 1 new-build supply is structurally constrained by planning restrictions and the absence of large-scale development sites. Westminster Tower — a 17-storey development on the Albert Embankment — is one of fewer than a handful of genuinely new-build Zone 1 schemes available in 2026.
