One thing the results from across London show is that there are many different London markets out there as we know there are many different markets here in Hillingdon.
This data shows the local area outperforming London and I would like to think this is because of steady demand in the area with prices supported by steady employment. However a month is a short period of time and property investment is best considered as a long term investment.
