Notting Hill Know-How

Notting Hill is emerging as one of the star performers as the PCL market gets back on its feet, according to Winkworth. The agency, which has 60 branches across the capital, has flagged up the interesting goings-on in W11 in its latest podcast. The area’s famous garden squares and leafy streets are ticking all the right boxes for buyers who still want to live centrally, said Charles Erwin, who heads up the firm’s local office.

Offers are apparently coming in up to £1m above pre-pandemic levels from those keen to join the “Notting Hillbillies” set, and houses are going before they can even be marketed. The dream home is a full house in Elgin, Blenheimor Lansdowne Crescents, with their communal garden squares where children can play out with their friends. There is always a demand for flats. Prices in Notting Hill range from £350,000 to £20m.
