Land and Property Prices in London
For those with an interest in the state of the property market in London and beyond you may not have seen this fascinating interactive map prepared by Private Eye:http://www.private-eye.co.uk/registryThe map shows, in great detail, the extent to which property in England and Wales is owned by offshore companies. You can zoom in to have a look at Brentford.My understanding is that the map does not show the large amount of property that is owned, for investment purposes, by private individuals and families who reside in other countries. I offer no comment on the desirability of this state of affairs beyond suggesting that at least part of the energy expended on our national preoccupation with the migration of people from overseas could be directed at another target.
