Developers and lenders are facing weaker demand for London’s newbuild homes as fewer are being bought by British buyers, according to property data company Molior. The Daily Mail reports that only about a fifth of newbuild purchases in London are made by British buyers, suggesting a shift in who is buying new flats.
Residents cited by the outlet say some flats have “lost their value,” and that this affects traditional routes to selling modern apartments. The report frames the change as part of a broader easing in the UK buy-to-let market, implying that investor demand is not supporting prices and liquidity in the same way as before.
Across the available source, the focus stays on the reported decline in British buyer participation and the potential knock-on effects for value and resale. However, the source does not detail the time period, compare figures across other regions, or provide additional confirmation from alternative datasets, limiting how far the trend can be independently assessed from this account alone.
