Crossrail – or the Elizabeth Line – is nearing completion, and has already brought substantial capital growth across London’s property market. However, our Director of Property, Robert Weaver, believes that the real value of Crossrail has yet to come:

“The majority of private buyers are buying for their commute now, rather than in several years time – meaning that the real value will arrive ‘when the trains start rolling in’.”

As we speed ever closer towards Crossrail’s completion, our Resale market represents a unique opportunity to access Crossrail property, not just easily, but also at discounts of up to 12% to the Latest Valuation.

A winning deal – for buyer and seller
