Sign indicating London\u2019s Cycle Superhighway 3 in Westminster. It is a long bike freeway in London, UK.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With many Londoners now opting for pedal power to avoid the social distancing nightmare of public transport, research by London lettings and estate agent, Benham and Reeves, has revealed the steep cost of buying along one of London\u2019s Cycle Superhighways. <\/p>\n

Benham and Reeves analysed the average house price in outcodes straddling each of London\u2019s Cycle Superhighways and how they compare to London as a whole, as well as the wider boroughs bordering these greener transport routes in and out of the city.<\/p>\n

The research shows that on average, house prices along all seven Cycle Superhighways averages \u00a3874,578, 80% higher than the current average London house price of \u00a3485,794. The cost of living along a London Cycle Superhighway also largely exceeds the wider average cost of buying in the boroughs these routes pass through. <\/p>\n

The largest cycle property price premium is found along CS3, between Tower Hill and Lancaster Gate. The average house price in outcodes straddling this route currently sits at \u00a31.2m, 149% more than the London average. This is also higher than the average house price in three of the four boroughs the route runs through, with just Kensington and Chelsea coming in above it. <\/p>\n

At \u00a31,018,929, the cost of buying along CS5 – Oval to Pimlico comes in ever so marginally more than CS8 – Wandsworth to Westminster (\u00a31,017,777). Both are home to average house prices 110% more than the London average.<\/p>\n

At \u00a3877,258, the CS6 stretch from King\u2019s Cross to Elephant and Castle is the next most expensive Cycle Superhighway, 81% more than the London average. With Camden the only one of the four boroughs it passes through to see a higher average house price overall. <\/p>\n

CS7 – Merton to the City has an average property price of \u00a3695,652 along the route, 43% more than the London average, while CS2 – Stratford to Aldgate provides the best homebuyer value along a Cycle Superhighway; although this is still 22% higher than the London average at \u00a3591,080. <\/p>\n

Director of Benham and Reeves, Marc von Grundherr, commented:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough it remains the cornerstone of the property market, London is as susceptible to change as the rest of the UK sector and there\u2019s no doubt that the current impact of COVID-19 will influence prices and transactions over the coming months. <\/p>\n

However, this change won\u2019t necessarily be negative for the market as a whole. Traditionally, the sought after feature of a nearby tube station would have allowed sellers to command a higher price than other similar properties in the area, but while travel remains restricted and apprehensions around public transport are high, this will no longer be the case.<\/p>\n

With government advice to avoid public transport where necessary, we\u2019ve already seen a 17% uplift in the number of people enquiring on homes close to Cycle Superhighway and as these transport routes soar in popularity, property values will continue to follow suit. <\/p>\n

Much like the spillover effect we\u2019ve seen in more affordable boroughs surrounding popular locations, as well as the London commuter zone, the wider areas along these routes should also see an uplift in market health as people look for a more affordable option close to a Cycle Superhighway.\u201d<\/p>\n
