The number of UK home movers has risen by 13% in the last decade – but fallen sharply in London

Property prices in Greater London escalated by 82% between 2009 and 2019, according to research house Acadata. That's nearly twice the average house price inflation rate across UK regions (42.6%).

London's average £1m home is only a third (36%) bigger than the overall average-sized home in the capital, says Savills. Buyers would get an average of 70% more space if they looked beyond the M25.

London leavers bought 85% more homes outside the capital in the first half of this year than in H1 2019.
