Prime London Market Update - July 2021

21 July 2021

Both June and Q2 2021 transaction volumes exceeded levels seen at previous peaks in 2007 and 2014. June 2021 was in fact the busiest month on record for properties registered as sold on LonRes. The lettings market also showed a more positive performance with stock levels returning to pre-pandemic levels and rents rising as supply and demand levels become more closely aligned.
