First time buyers forced to outskirts of London

Research by Experian reveals that central London dominates the ten worst locations for first-time buyers as a percentage of the local population, with the boroughs of Lambeth, Camden, Hammersmith and Fulham, Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea all featuring in the bottom ten. Richard Jenkings, a senior consultant at Experian, said: “The majority of first-time buyers in London are living in the outer boroughs and particularly those in the more affordable south and east of London. The central areas have become inaccessible.”
