The streets of Belgravia and Knightsbridge in central London are the most expensive locations in England and Wales to buy a property, according to new research. Located in one of London's most prestigious areas in the heart of Belgravia between Hyde Park Corner and Belgrave Square, Grosvenor Crescent is the most expensive residential street, the research from Lloyds Bank shows. To acquire a typical Grade II listed house on Grosvenor Crescent will cost an average of £16,918,000, it reveals. Indeed, five of the 10 most expensive streets are in the prime residential areas of Belgravia and Knightsbridge in the City of Westminster. They include Eaton Square with an average property value of £15,520,000 and Chester Square at £8,282,000, both in Belgravia. This is followed by Trevor Street at £10,150,000 and Montpelier Street at £8,483,000 in the Knightsbridge area. The remaining four streets are in all in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. They include Cadogan Square with an average value of £8,592,000, Elgin Crescent at £7,683,000, Egerton Crescent at £7,100,000 and Hillsleigh Road at £7,091,000. Outside central London the capital's most desirable addresses are Cambridge Gate in Camden which has an average property value of £6,670,000, Coombe Park in Kingston upon Thames at £3,515,000 and Lichfield Road in Richmond upon Thames at £2,863,000. ‘London dominates the list of the most expensive residential addresses in England and Wales. As an international city, London has always attracted overseas buyers and in recent years the capital has been a magnet for ultra high net worth individuals,’ said Andy Hulme, mortgages director at Lloyds Bank. ‘This has led to soaring demand for homes in the prime residential areas of central London and as a result values have grown significantly. For the first time since this survey began, there are three streets with an average property price of over £10 million,’ he explained. ‘The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has always pulled in wealthy buyers, but this survey shows that properties in Belgravia and around Knightsbridge are now the ones commanding the highest prices,’ he added. Away from London the most expensive streets are both in Oxshott, Surrey; Spicers Field at £3,734,000 followed by Leys Road at £3,609,000. They are followed by Virginia Avenue in Virginia Water at £3,320,000 and Icklingham Road in Cobham at £3,264,000. A place near the sea has obvious attractions for many wealthy buyers and several exclusive addresses are dotted along the south coast. These streets include Sandbanks Road on Poole harbour at £2,493,000, Western Avenue also in Poole at £2,450,000 and Restrongeut Point in Truro at £2,097,000. The only address outside southern England in the top 50 most expensive streets is Park Lane in Altrincham with an average property price of £2,494,000, followed by South Road, also in Altrincham at £2,025,000. Other expensive addresses include Withinlee Road in Macclesfield at £1,960,000, The Ridgway in Leicester at £1,783,000, Tiddington Road in Stratford upon Avon at £1,313,000, Runnymede Road in Newcastle at… Continue reading →
