The Times has now picked out Kings Cross in an article on house prices. The Times re-runs the December forecast from Hamptons we first reported here in the middle of a sensible wider piece on the UK market.  Again no sign of bargains for those looking to buy, encouraging news for those lucky enough to own.  The article says:

‘Most observers are predicting that the current turbulence will continue through the first quarter. But by mid-year they expect the general health of the economy and increases in the number of residents will bolster demand and support prices.

‘Knight Frank expects growth of 3 per cent across Greater London, while Savills predicts 5 per cent. Both tip blue-chip parts of central and southwest London to hold value best. Hamptons — which is tipping Bayswater, Islington, Kings Cross and Paddington as next year’s outperformers — thinks that prime Central and North London will grow 4 per cent and South London by 3 per cent.’
