Since the introduction of the stamp holiday in July, the houses that have been sold in London “super suburbs” have doubled as in the rest of the capital.

 

Covid-19 has brought so many changes in the lives of many Londoners. With the anxieties experience due to this pandemic, buyers are being driven in search of a home with a garden, spacious area, near good schools, and plenty of parklands.

 

In the last 12 months, Hampton’s International report revealed the rise of the suburbs. Balham, one of the “super suburbs” in south west London, saw an increase of 7.4% in home sales this year, as Londoners are switching to areas to find more indoor and outdoor space.
