Why invest in London property
Few cities combine London’s global standing, legal security and depth of rental demand. It is one of the world’s two leading financial centres, home to some of its best-known universities, and a city where demand for quality rental homes continues to outstrip supply.
Crest Select has selected a small number of new-build developments in London for investors seeking reliable rental income and long-term capital value.

A global city
Two thousand years as a centre of trade
Founded by the Romans as Londinium, London grew into the hub of a global trading network, and its docks – where Canary Wharf now stands – were once among the busiest in the world.
Today the City and Canary Wharf form one of the two leading financial centres in the world, ranked second only to New York in the Global Financial Centres Index. Its time zone bridges Asian and American markets, and English law and an established property system give investors a high degree of certainty.
International demand
Trusted by investors worldwide
London has long attracted buyers from across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and North America. Overseas buyers typically account for around one in five new-build homes sold in the capital, and international interest in London has recently risen even as it has fallen elsewhere in Britain.
- Transparent buying process and clear legal title
- A deep, liquid resale market
- Homes let to a broad, international tenant base
Rental demand
A rental market with more tenants than homes
London’s private rented sector has been shrinking while demand keeps growing, supporting rents for well-located, well-managed new homes.
Shrinking supply
Government figures show London's private rented stock fell by around 6% between 2023 and 2024.
Strong tenant demand
Each London rental home attracts several enquiries, with around eight per listing reported by Rightmove.
Students & professionals
World-class universities and global employers bring a constant flow of new tenants from overseas.

London property investment: FAQs
Can overseas investors buy property in London?
Yes. There are no restrictions on non-UK residents buying residential property in England. Additional stamp duty surcharges apply to buy-to-let and non-resident purchases, so independent legal and tax advice is recommended.
Why choose a new-build apartment for investment?
New-build homes are ready to let, energy efficient and usually come with a building warranty, which reduces maintenance and suits owners who live abroad.
Where are Crest Select's London developments?
Our current developments are in Canary Wharf, E14. Further London developments will be added – register your interest to hear first.
Can Crest Select help me let my apartment?
