The rise of the high-end property developer or housebuilder, has been accelerated by increased demand for new homes to buy in London. Many properties continue to be purchased for rental investment by overseas buyers, but ownership from owner-occupiers is also increasing as a new raft of buyers see the benefits of modern high rise living.
For decades, Benham and Reeves has worked with some of the most notable property developers in the sector and continue to be inspired by their creative energy. Our London estate agent branches and our international sales offices are frequently engaged in bringing the merits of London property ownership to the attention of investors from all over the globe. Providing a full selling and buying service, we provide knowledgeable investment advice, only recommending developers who we know will deliver homes on time, to budget and with all due diligence in place.
