North and East London are basically two separate cities within a city and offer a range of different property, with some even allowing for a slightly smaller budget.
London’s East
East London is an incredibly large area, covering the districts of Havering, Barking and Dagenham, Newham and Tower Hamlets. A vibrant and culturally very interesting district, the area is on its way to becoming a favourite with tenants and investors alike.
Property in East London is as diverse as its people. You can get anything from waterside apartments and studio flats to traditional semis and terraced houses. And house prices in the area behave similarly, you can get lucky and find yourself a real bargain if you spot it in the right location.
Like most of London, the East offer plenty of choice when it comes to dining and shopping, with even some of the capital’s biggest landmarks, like the Tower Bridge, The Tower of London and Canary Wharf, being located here.
London’s North
North London on the other hand has been subject to some market fluctuation, which can lead to a great bargaining position for property buyers. The area includes the districts of Enfield, Barnet, Haringey and Islington.
The area offers a broad range of properties, pretty much anything from flats to detached villas, shared ownership and even conversions. On top of that, the area’s close location to the city centre makes it an outstanding location for commuters.
With Camden Town and the Brent Cross shopping centre, shopping addicts should make sure to stop by in London’s North and indulge in some of the best fashion and decoration shops the city has on offer.
England’s capital is huge, and so are its investment opportunities. So if you are 100% set on a property investment in London, make sure you know all the areas first to figure out where you think will work best for you.
