Wandsworth has seen the largest annual uplift in demand at 31.6%, while Wimbledon also ranks high with a 26.5% annual increase, as does Highgate (21.5%).<\/p>\n<p>Wapping (14.7%), Putney (13.8%), Islington (12.8%), Fulham (11.6%), Richmond (10.5%), Notting Hill (9.4%) and Chiswick (8%) also rank amongst the areas to have seen the largest annual uplift in homebuyer demand for homes prices at \u00a32m or more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a310m+ Market<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Homebuyer demand across the very top tier of the London property market has again remained largely static between Q2 and Q3 (0.1%) but has increased 1.8% year on year.<\/p>\n<p>Wimbledon also tops the table where super-prime property demand is concerned. Having seen no demand for homes at \u00a310m+ over the last year, the area has seen a 66.7% uplift in Q3 of this year &#8211; the largest annual increase of all areas.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s London\u2019s more traditionally prime areas that account for the largest degree of market activity at the \u00a310m+ threshold.<\/p>\n<p>Notting Hill has seen demand increase by 22.1% annually, while Holland Park has also seen a double-digit uplift at 12.5%.<\/p>\n<p>Kensington has seen an annual increase of 7.3% in buyer demand for homes at \u00a310m or more, with Hampstead (6.3%), Victoria (3.4%), Belgravia (3.3%), Mayfair (2.9%), Chelsea (1.7%) and St John\u2019s Wood (1.4%) also seeing some of the largest annual increases in super-prime homebuyer demand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Director of Benham and Reeves, Marc von Grundherr, commented:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re certainly not seeing a fully rejuvenated prime London market at present and the pandemic continues to play a part both in terms of where buyers are transacting, as well the ongoing absence of foreign demand due to travel complications.<\/p>\n<p>However, what we are seeing are strong signs that the market is starting to pick back up. Those areas offering a greater abundance of larger homes with more green space are still performing well but we\u2019re now seeing demand increase in the more traditional heartlands of the prime market where there was previously little to no interest at all.<br \/>\nAs we ease back to a full state of normality, it\u2019s very likely that these green shoots will continue to blossom.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-responsive mb20\">\n<table class=\"press-table text-left table-fixed\" border=\"1\">\n<tr class=\"bg-table-blue\">\n<th colspan=\"5\">\n        <em>Table shows
