For these reasons Lurot Brand has been specialising in the sale and letting of these wonderful properties through ‘bear’ and […]

The Savils 5 year forecast for the UK residential market would indicate that prime real estate in London is a good future investment as far as property price increases are concerned. Whilst the London property bubble has created a significant gap in house prices growth in the capital is set to increase exponentially.

The residential market survey (RICS 2014)  indicates that the imbalance between supply and demand is the main catalyst for growth, by creating a greater upward pressure on the price of residential property.

A parking spot (pictured below) situated in Hyde Park Gardens, just behind the beautiful Hyde Park Gardens Mews, has gone on the market for £300,000.

Wow what a difference a few weeks make! Last month’s sales list was possibly one of the thinnest on record – thankfully this month’s is much more robust. As we moved into September the drought was broken and the phones didn’t stop ringing. We have more than doubled the number of available instructions which should […]

As the rain continued to fall over the UK seemingly without an end in sight, the number of instructions coming to the Lettings market continued to multiply at a steady rate through July.

Following the warmest March since records began, we have experienced what surely must have been the wettest April since the phrase ‘April showers’ was coined! I am very pleased to report that it has done little to dampen the Lettings market. In fact following a fairly slow start to 2012, we are very busy indeed. […]
