Hurford Salvi Carr, expert real estate agent for the Docklands, West End and City believes the smaller boutique development would be protected from the downward pressures of the real estate market due to constant demand for high-features apartments in well known areas.

Hurford Salvi Carr’s City branch office Director Paul Driscoll, expects to see property demand start to outdo supply in this property market. Thus far they have experienced very small slow down in the owner-occupier enquiries for single and double bedrooms apartments and penthouses in the boutique buildings in places such as the City , Clerkenwell and Bloomsbury. Inspirational, design-driven apartments in the main places have a great target market which includes successful lawyers, young bankers and creatives who have a good idea of what they actually want and the income to finance it,” says Paul.
