Hipsters cause house prices to skyrocket

9th December 2016

Zooplahas examined the impact on house prices in so-called "hipster hotspots” which attract young, creative upwardly-mobile people. Researchers found that six of the top ten UK hipster hotspots are in London, including Shoreditch, Stratford and Stoke Newington. Dalston in East London was identified as the top hipster hotspot, with property prices there having typically increased by nearly 60% over the past five years, now averaging £633,593.
