Mayfair - A Real-Life Monopoly Success Story:
Mayfair, the illustrious district in London, remains the most sought-after real estate destination on the planet, according to Knightsbridge Prime Property. As one of the world's premier addresses, Mayfair's allure has been reinforced by historical connections to the iconic board game Monopoly and its current position as the top choice for luxury living and investment.
Not much has changed in relation to Mayfair being hot property over the last 120 years
A Journey Through Time - From The Landlords Game to Modern-Day Monopoly:
In 1903, a revolutionary feminist named Elizabeth J. Magie unveiled "The Landlords Game," which has since evolved into the beloved family classic we now know as Monopoly. This historical anecdote is particularly intriguing because even 120 years ago, the game had already identified Mayfair as the epitome of premium London real estate.
A Property Powerhouse Over the Years:
Over the years, Mayfair has retained its position as number one at the top of the real estate world. Now, in 2023, Mayfair is still considered one of the best places for property, not only in London but also compared to famous areas like Central Park in New York, Central in Hong Kong, Dubai, and the 7th Arrondissement in Paris. It consistently sells properties at high prices, making it a favourite for wealthy buyers worldwide.
Knightsbridge Prime Property Reports Increased International Interest:
Knightsbridge Prime Property reported that July 2022 to June 2023 has seen a remarkable 35% surge in international interest in residential property. What's noteworthy is the shift in search requirements; high-net-worth buyers are now seeking larger properties, with average square footage enquiries increasing from 7000 sq. ft. to over 11,000 sq. ft. This points to a growing desire for Mayfair as a permanent residence rather than just an investment or second home.
A notable North American buyer recently engaged with Knightsbridge Prime Property for two transactions in Mayfair, securing properties on Dunraven Street and Green Street. This trend of families relocating to Mayfair brings positive economic prospects to the United Kingdom, boosting tax revenues and contributing to the nation's prosperity.
Unveiling the Historical Origins of Mayfair:
Mayfair's story takes us back to the 17th century when both Belgravia and Mayfair were once undesired farmland. Little did anyone know that these areas would eventually become one of the most desirable locations in London. The Duke of Westminster's ancestors received them as a wedding gift, and the family still owns many properties in these exclusive areas.
Raj Gill, founder of Knightsbridge Prime Property, explains, “North American, Middle Eastern and European buyers are instinctively drawn to Mayfair, and this has been even more pertinent to this location when the world faces some of the challenges we have seen in recent years. Our clients are indeed the world's super wealthy, and we are proud of the United Kingdoms' diligence in ensuring these individuals pass some of the highest money laundering standards, many of these individuals see Mayfair as their most sought-after location, and we are confident that this will remain the case for the next 120 years”.
