Some more news on the prospects for the Kings Cross market – maintains the relatively upbeat tone of James Byford’s exclusive piece for this site.  Hamptons International, they say:

‘North London will outperform South London by 1 per cent (4 per cent versus 3 per cent), while other areas will rise by a relatively modest 2.5 per cent….Paddington, Bayswater, Kings Cross and Islington are likely to see the greatest capital appreciation in 2008, given the continuing regeneration of Paddington Waterside and the Kings Cross area.’

So good for owners, not so good for those looking to find housing locally.
