Are house buyers in Fulham making a late bet on Brexit? The leafy west London neighbourhood – long beloved of buyers who come from the financial services sector for its Victorian homes, restaurants, boutiques and pubs – has seen a recent flurry of interest.
Some 40% more homes went under offer in Fulham in January than in the same month in 2018, according to LonRes. The shift was a contrast with prime London as a whole, where the number of offers fell by 1%.
With the deadline of March 29 looming – and still no clear idea what happens afterwards – some buyers are trying to make full use of Brexit to get sellers to accept lower offers
