Send us Fan Mail Farnaz Fazaipour is joined by Kris Ericsson, prime central London specialist, for one of the most data-rich market assessments of 2026. Kris shares the numbers few people in the market will say on record: prime central London is now 20–25% below 2014 peak levels. Belgravia and Knightsbridge are down 30%. The correction has been running for 12 years driven by interest rates, Brexit, SDLT, and a dramatic shift in the buyer pool. 68% of prime central London sales last year came from non-domestic buyers relocating away from London, mostly to the Middle East. They also cover: the incoming mansion tax in 2028 and its impact on liquidity; why East London is absorbing younger domestic demand; the London vs Dubai debate among HNWI clients; and where Kris sees genuine opportunity in the current market  including pied-à-terre and Battersea Power Station. — — — Guest: Kris Ericsson, prime central London specialist Host: Farnaz Fazaipour, London Property (londonproperty.co.uk) The London Property Podcast Hosted by Farnaz Fazaipour, londonproperty.co.uk Independent intelligence for serious London property owners and investors.

Send us Fan Mail Farnaz Fazaipour is joined by Jeremy Davidson for a frank assessment of where prime London property prices actually stand in 2026. Jeremy's view is direct: the market has not fully corrected. In high-value areas like Chelsea and Kensington, properties could still fall by 15–20%. Deals are happening but only where vendors accept substantial discounts from asking price. Buyers are not moving for marginal improvements. They are only transacting where they see genuine value. A candid, unvarnished look at the prime London market for anyone buying, selling or holding in 2026. — — — Guest: Jeremy Davidson Host: Farnaz Fazaipour, London Property (londonproperty.co.uk) The London Property Podcast Hosted by Farnaz Fazaipour, londonproperty.co.uk Independent intelligence for serious London property owners and investors.

Send us Fan Mail Farnaz Fazaipour is joined by Marco Pasi, specialist in off-market transactions and international prime London clients, for a first-quarter 2026 market update. Marco shares what he is seeing on the ground: clients who left London for Switzerland, Monaco and Dubai are quietly reconsidering. The non-dom regime and inheritance tax changes accelerated departures  but global instability, concerns about rule of law in newer destinations, and London's irreplaceable energy are pulling people back. They cover: why Dubai is losing its appeal for long-term family planning; the return of American and Southern European buyers; why Mayfair is a sought-after postcode again; and Marco's cautiously optimistic outlook for a strong market recovery through the rest of 2026.
