People still come here to esc a p e fr o m the city, e n j oy the open spac e at nearby H i g h b u ry Fields, t h e at t r ac t i o n s of Paradise Park and I s l i n g to n Green and the slow e r pac e along the c a n a l tow pat h. But make no mistake, this is no cultural backwater. There are more than 15 theatrical venues here, offering a vibrant and eclectic mix of entertainment.

Once home to Prime Minister Tony Blair, and current home of London s Mayor, Boris Johnson, Islington continues to attract writers and artists, actors and entertainers, politicians and thinkers. 7

6 ECHOES OF THE PAST O n c e a q u i e t rural b ac k wat e r, d u r i n g the 18th and 19th Centuries, Islingto n pr ov i d e d a welcome esc a p e f r o m the busy London streets. T h e area wa s filled with p u b s and pleasure gardens, w h e r e people flocked to e n j oy music and da n c i n g, s p o rt s, e n t e rta i n m e n t s and f i r e wo r k display s. Constructed nearly 200 years ago, the Regent s Canal was a vital part of London s water transport system, filled with multi-coloured barges urgently ferrying goods across the capital. On the towpath right next door to Islington Canalside, one of the few remaining old canal pubs The Narrowboat is a charming reminder of days gone by. 9

7 A most singular quarter I f there is one wo r d that best describes Islingto n, i t h a s to be o r i g i n a l.

Come to Islington to discover elegant designer fashion alongside edgy boutiques, bustling street markets and stalls, and a huge choice of independent delis and quirky cafés. Add to this a superb menu of restaurants offering a food from every different culture, bistros, and gastro pubs, and it is easy to see why Islington has become such a popular choice with young professionals, families, students and people who want to enjoy life at a different pace, just minutes from the centre of London. 11

11 Central London property market comment Q The London property market with relative transactional ease and transparency, long lease length and strong rental market offers a safe and attractive haven for investors of residential property. There is a finite supply of new property, and London does not have the same restrictions as other major global cities such as New York and Tokyo making London an attractive destination for global wealth. London residential property is viewed as a strategic asset that can ride out economic cycles and the majority of buyers are interested in long term capital growth from their property portfolios rather than income. London also offers political stability which in part explains why such a high proportion of international buyers want to relocate their principal residence to London. The London property market has favourable supply and demand characteristics and good long term fundamentals. A regulated and therefore restricted supply together with unrestricted global demand is an appealing combination. At times of financial volatility and uncertainty residential property has shown a level of stability where owners tend to be individuals rather than institutions and as individuals they are able to ride out the cycle by maintaining mortgage payments and renting out rather than selling. The Barker Review of Housing supply discusses the lack of supply in the UK housing market describing an unresponsive and weak supply. With the population of the UK set to increase by 4.3m by 2018 the supply of new housing is falling short of requirements. There is little doubt that the trend of rising demand for rental property will continue with one recent forecast predicting the rental sector at 20% of the market by Demand in the market remains healthy, with the number of new tenancy starts up 18% since January compared with the same period last year. Central London values now stand some 15% above their pre-crisis peak in March 2008 ( KF RR Sept 2012) and stock volumes are slowly rising. In summary we are relatively confident that housing demand in Central London for residential property will remain strong ; we expect interest rates to remain low, in an historical context for the next year or so and we hope for better access to mortgage market funding. We expect the rental sector to grow in importance thus creating an asset that not only offers capital growth but a steady and stable income. Why London and Why Residential property in London? Transparent legal system Stable tax regime Political stability Educated workforce with a globally recognised financial centre Geographic location spanning east and west time zones Language English is a universally accepted language Culture and education Residential property is an enduring asset class Demand and supply and lack of restriction Safe haven for currency The views expressed in this article of those of the writer and may not be relied upon.
