London buyers look to Ruislip

AN estate agency says Ruislip is the best place to buy property in London.

Online company eMoov found the average house price in Ruislip was £345,000 and 78 per cent of properties on the market in the last month had been sold or received an offer.

Properties in Ruislip Manor and Eastcote were among the most soughtafter in the capital, with demand at 80 per cent and 78 per cent, respectively and beaten only by Chorleywood, with 82 per cent.

Russell Quirk, eMoov’s founder and CEO, said: “The latest insight from the research team at eMoov further confirms the growing demand for commuter areas in Zone 5 and outward. It is fascinating to see the gulf in demand between lines and the difference one Tube stop can make.”

The company found the most expensive properties in London were in Bond Street.
