Final thoughts … and consequences
- Central London residential will regain / maintain its international appeal
- Central London price growth will be strong but not smooth – it is a sensitive

- Outlook will be a battle between stronger economics, high prices and
Government / tax interventions
- Blurring of boundaries
- Price implications for ‘ordinary’ Londoners
- Supply constraints
