Living with the effects of the coronavirus pandemic has brought the importance of good mental and emotional health into sharp focus, especially with regard to the way we live. This year, leading market research company Technavio has predicted that between 2019 and 2023, the Global Wellness Real Estate Market will increase by $63.54 billion.
According to the National Wellness Institute, wellness encompasses “lifestyle, mental and spiritual well-being, and the environment.” Currently, London’s homebuyers and renters are looking for properties with clearly defined wellness benefits.
What are buyers and renters looking for?
Buyers and renters want stylish, comfortable and well-connected homes with open green spaces within easy reach. The new Gasholders development in Kings Cross, London is a shining example of this trend. While offering the ultimate in transport connectivity (with Eurostar, underground, overground and mainline trains virtually on the doorstep), it is also close to some of the most beautiful canalside walks and parks in London.
The Gasholders development not only overlooks Regents Canal, it’s also moments from Camley Street Natural Park, a thriving urban nature reserve. Historic Regent’s Park, with its boating lake, gardens and children’s playgrounds, is just a short cycle ride away. The Regent's Park is home to central London’s largest outdoor sports area, with tennis courts and sports pitches suitable for rugby, softball, football and cricket.
A range of wellness benefits
Gasholders residents can also enjoy a wide range of facilities designed to promote a healthy and happy lifestyle. The top quality fixtures and fittings in each apartment (Gaggenau appliances, high specification bathrooms and in-home automation) are matched by a range of fantastic on-site amenities.
Features include a wellness spa and pool plus a panoramic rooftop terrace with breathtaking views over London. Other amenities include a well-equipped business lounge, a bookable conference room and a high specification screening room with ample seating.
This development has proved so popular with buyers that all one and two bedroom Gasholders apartments offered for sale have now been snapped up. But there are still some great investment opportunities remaining, with studio apartments available from £775,000, 3 bedroom apartments from £2,855,000 and penthouses from £7,250,000.
Buyer opportunities
Until 31st March 2021, overseas investors in UK residential property can benefit from a temporary Stamp Duty reduction, but they will be required to pay a 2% surcharge on Stamp Duty from 1st April 2021. With interest rates at an all-time low, making mortgage borrowing easier, this is the ideal time to buy.
