  • There are many areas of London where rental property continues to be an excellent good long-term investment. Popular areas include Chiswick, Brentford, Putney and Earlsfield – however purchase prices in these areas remain high and competition for the best investment properties fierce so it may be worth looking slightly further afield for a less well-known area. One often over-looked area is Croydon in the South of London. Whilst average rental values in Croydon have risen over the last 12 months, sales prices remain low compared to many other areas in London. The result of this is that average yield on a one or two bedroom property is around 5 to 6 percent. Croydon enjoys excellent fast rail links to London and Gatwick and attracts large numbers of commuters as well as professionals working for the many businesses with offices in the town which include AIG, Nestle and Virgin Media.
