London - 403 Upper Richmond
Road SW15
The City of London has long been recognised
as one of the world's leading financial centres and
new statistics out earlier this year have confirmed
that the rest of London is following suit. The world's
largest professional services firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers
(PwC), predicted that by 2020 London would overtake
Paris and Chicago to become the fourth largest economy
among world cities. The Capital's current growth rate
of 3% means revenue generated by the Capital's 8.5million
strong workforce should rise from $452billion in 2005
to $708billion in 2020, added PwC. Inevitably this
growth in industry has led to an increase in the city's
population, and subsequently there is an increased
demand for rental properties to house those working
in the Capital.
Richmond is a town steeped in history. King Henry
VII had such a soft spot for Richmond Castle in Yorkshire
that when his manor house in Sheen accidentally burnt
down in 1497 he built a royal palace along the Thames
and called it Richmond in 1501. The palace was situated
midway between Westminster and Windsor and so the
palace became a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I and
remained a royal residence until 1649.
Park life
Richmond Green has been a venue of tournaments and
archery contests from the 16th century. The first
recorded inter-county cricket match took place on
Richmond Green in 1730 between Surrey and Middlesex
but it is believed that cricket matches have been
played here since about 1650. The Cricketers pub,
which overlooks the Green, dates back to 1770. Multi-million
pound period properties and town houses surround the
Green, which remains an incredibly desirable place
to live. Richmond Park, the largest Royal Park in
London, has royal connections as far back as King
Edward's reign (1272-1307), when the area was known
as the Manor of Sheen. The park itself has changed
little over the centuries and still provides visitors
with breathtaking views, including a protected view
of St Paul's Cathedral, which is 12 miles away, from
King Henry VIII's Mound in the park. Richmond Park
is a key attraction for buyers ¬ the closer you
live to the park the higher the premium your property
will achieve. Families commonly request a house, with
a garden, within walking distance of the Park, and
are willing to pay a premium as properties of this
description rarely come on market.
Richmond's residents
Along with royals Richmond (population of 276,493)
has been known to attract rock stars and celebrities
as residents. The Rolling Stones began their career
playing gigs in a pub called Station Hotel, which
was located opposite the train station on the site
where Edwards is today. Whilst it has long since been
an affluent area Richmond has undergone some changes
in the past 10-15 years such as the closure of Richmond
Ice Rink in 1992, which was sold to a developer and
was replaced with a development of luxury new build
homes overlooking the Thames.
Richmond landlords Richmond is an obvious choice
for City workers wanting an easy commute and a high
quality of life. Whilst Property prices in central
London have reached an all time high, Richmond's
prices have also risen at an average of £650
to £700 per sq ft. Richmond is an attractive
area for affluent professionals and corporate tenants.
An Average 2 bed apartments 610 sq ft with parking
are being let at £450 - £500 per week.
