Hamptons has revealed that the number of millionaire postcodes in London has risen again in 2022, with the average house price in nearly half of the capital's districts now over £1m. Analysis shows that 41% - or 113 - of the capital's 274 postcode districts are now £1m-plus areas, up from 24% a decade ago. The data shows how millionaire neighbourhoods are now spreading out from Zone 1, where the average house in every area has cost at least £1m since 2017, to new postcodes in Zones 3 to 6. New entrants this year in Zone 2 include Bethnal Green, where the average house price rose from £894,580 in 2021, to £1.03m in 2022. In the former dockland area of Wapping the average house has reached £1.09m, up from £972,840 in 2021. Hamptons' senior analyst David Fell, it is unlikely that many new neighbourhoods would join the seven-figure club next year, given the low expectations of price growth. |
