London property demand is fiercest in the North West of the capital, eMoov’s Tube Hotspots Index has indicated.
The estate agent said South Ruislip is the most in-demand stop on the London Underground, with other popular stops being Eastcote, Ruislip Manor, Northwood Hills, Ruislip and Rayners Lane.
The Crossrail development opening in 2018 has boosted West London demand, eMoov said, as Park Royal saw the biggest increase in housing demand year-on-year and North Ealing saw activity surge.
Russell Quirk, founder and chief executive of eMoov.co.uk, said: “It’s evident that the forthcoming arrival of the Crossrail development is already having a notable impact on the areas due to benefit. As the primary mode of traversing the capital, the ongoing improvements in rail links are continuously changing the London property landscape, in terms of which areas are the most in demand amongst UK buyers.
“It will be interesting to keep an eye on the parts of London due to benefit from Crossrail, particularly that pocket of Park Royal and Hanger Lane up to the Ruislip area. I expect homeowners already living here will see a significant value increase on their property over the next few years and those looking to sell, should certainly consider holding out until Crossrail is up and running at least.”
