FULHAM AREA GUIDE

FULHAM

Home of two Premiership football teams and

site of the Hurlingham Club and Fulham

Palace, Fulham provides a wealth of

distinguishing features that make the area

highly desirable to both families and young

professionals alike. Fulham benefits from a

good mix of houses and London

apartments and is popular with all kinds of

buyers and Tenants. The pleasant family

atmosphere attracts single professionals,

couples and larger families, and many

residents choose to live their entire lives in a

Fulham property.

The area boasts numerous green spaces and

is in close proximity to shopping and dining on

the King’s Road. Fulham benefits from being

one of the safest areas in London and also

from its good quality housing stock and

communication links to the West End and the

City. Space is at a premium and a new house

for sale in Fulham is a rarity.

The inexorable rise in property prices in

central London in recent years can be

attributed to lack of supply and increasing

demand. Douglas & Gordon’s sales manager

and leading Fulham estate agent, Emma

Hanks, describes the rush for Fulham property

scene in the past few months; “Twenty people

through the door on the first day and homes

selling in one week!” Property prices within the

SW6 postal code are still impressive: a one-

bedroom flat for sale in Fulham will fetch

£350,000 while the sky is the limit for larger

Fulham properties.

Douglas & Gordon’s Fulham estate

agency has established strong ties within the

community, providing a personal touch when

selling and letting our many properties.

In recent months, Douglas & Gordon’s sales

and letting agents have seen Fulham property

prices continue to increase across the board,

affecting properties from one-bedroom flats to

five-bedroom family houses. This increase in

prices can be attributed to the reduced

number of properties coming to the market

and now applicants must be in position to

move immediately to give them the best

chance of attaining the best quality

properties, as competition is high. Our

Fulham sales department has continued to

see strong demand for properties, and for

well presented opportunities vendors are

often receiving multiple offers at or above the

asking price.

The rentals market is proving very strong in particular for large family houses. Increased

demand from international clients relocating to the UK and existing residents refurbishing or

extending their own properties has meant that landlords are receiving multiple offers from

tenants for longer committed terms with fewer break clauses.
