| Description: | This is one of the most exclusive areas of London. So why is it a hotspot? Well the prices in London are on the way down and the first to fall are at the top end of the market. How far the prices will fall is a matter of debate but properties in Holland Park have fallen and good discounts are to be had here. Thankfully there has been little effect on the rental prices probably due to the high demand from people wishing to live here. With falling property prices and stable rental prices means that yields are only getting better. The location is superb, probably the best in this book, being between Notting Hill Gate and Kensington, only 3 miles from the centre and connected by the central line – the best tube line to be on (when it works!). The houses are rarely available and usually get snapped up. You’ll have better luck with the flats but be careful of high service charges as many of the buildings are listed now. The converted flats are roomy with high ceilings and good square footage. I don’t think it really matters where you buy in Holland Park – as they say ‘its all good’. | ||||||||
