The effect of the long-planned Crossrail link through London that is nearing completion has been seen in a rise in rents near to the line, research has shown.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Analysis from Landbay of the areas near the 38 stations on the route that are outside of London\u2019s central Zone 1 shows that average rents were \u00a31,376 in June 2018 \u2013 up from \u00a31,193 in January 2012. That\u2019s a growth of 15.34%, compared to 8.20% rise in rents in the rest of London over the same period.<\/p>\n

Leading the way in growth on the route, which stretches from Reading in the west to Shenfield in the east, is Southall where rents have grown by 38% since 2012 to stand at an average of \u00a31,517. Second on the list is much further east, with Manor Park seeing rents go up by 37% while Romford, further down the route from Manor Park, is third on 30.5%.<\/p>\n

Rents in some areas have fallen, however, with rents in Taplow dropping by 2%, and in Maryland by 6.51%.<\/p>\n

Construction on the route, which will be named the Elizabeth line, began in 2009. To drive a new route across the capital, 26 miles of new tunnels have been dug under the heart of the city. Ten new stations are also nearing completion, part of what Crossrail say is \u201cone of the largest single infrastructure investments undertaken in the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n
“The Elizabeth Line will improve access to the centre of London for thousands of commuters, but it comes at a premium for renters,” said John Goodall, chief executive officer of Landbay.<\/p>\n
“The prospect of better transport links is creating higher demand for property in these areas. As a result, house prices and rents alike have increased, which for many landlords is an attractive proposition due to the prospect of extra return on investment.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In 2017, Emoov said prices along the Crossrail route had increased by 80%, compared to the\u00a0rest of the capital<\/a>\u00a0at 77%.<\/p>\n
If other big infrastructure projects that are on the horizon, such as HS2,<\/a> come to fruition then the property market in places like Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds could see similar side-effects to those felt in London.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
